[QUOTE="sportrides, post: 945287, member: 28600"] Wanted to do a SS1000 on one of my sportbikes, so I chose the 2008 CBR1000RR. It was a wonderful day on the bike. I left my house in Springville, CA at about 0330 gassed up and headed out to the Mojave desert via HWY 58 through Tehachapi, CA. Travelled up HWY 395 through Bishop, Tonopah, and down to Amargosa Valley, NV. AV was my turn around point. Turned the Honda around and rode home. I got home at about 2130. Total miles was 1059. One issue is getting fuel about every 150-160 miles due to the 4.6 gallon tank. Plenty of gas stations along the way, but just have to stop so often. Overall a great ride. Was a little cold in the morning going up the 395 even with Gerbings jacket and heated gloves. Not a lot of wind protection on the CBR. I recently purchased a Saddleman gel seat for the bike and that worked very well. It's a joy riding the roads in Nevada! I'm planning a SS1000 on my S1000RR this upcoming weekend. That bike starts flashing the low fuel light at between 115 and 125 miles. Looks like the weather should cooperate with my plans. [/QUOTE]
