You setting any targets,
Under 20 hours or A roads only, that type of thing?

Nice one :lol
You'll do it easy, I did 1000 in just over 22 hours on a C90 three years ago and 5000 in five days on a Fazer 1000 about 8 years ago.
So long as you can hold on and stay awake you'll smash it.
Tip, don't set a time to set off, get up when you get up eat and drink before you set off and set off as soon as your ready. First time I tried the 1000 on my C90 I set off at tea time, I'd already been awake for around 10 hours before setting off, needless to say I didn't make it home and spent a few hours in hospital with a broken wrist/hand.
On a good note I got 3 month off work.

1000 miles in 22 hours on a C90 that is bloody amazing that is an average speed of 45.45 mph the C90 is that the big Honda Cub? at least they were comfortable, well done, respect.

My actual time was 22 hour 22 min, a mate of mine did it 10 min quicker and now has his name amongst the big boys as an official iron butt competitor, the only C90 on their books.
He's also done the end to end on a 90 in 20 hrs 58 min.
On saying that I'll pledge £10 to Silverfz for completing the ride and an extra £10 if it's done inside my mates C90 time.
And if your coming anywhere near Bolton I'll tag along for a while if that's ok.

No that's the famous 80 mile straight from Exeter to penzance. Great fun but a nightmare for speed cameras 😂😂
