My personal record was actually achieved a couple of years ago on a 1998 VFR800fi. I did Riogordo to just outside Bilbao in a day. 623 miles in around 12 hours. Its a journey I usually do over a couple of days at a more relaxed pace but on this occasion I wanted to get as far North as I could on day one to avoid riding in a storm that was due to hit Spain the following day. (I had a deadline to catch the ferry home) So, I had an early start and rode. When the tank was empty I would fill the bike, have a coffee and get back on the road again. Didn't think I'd do it all in a day but 12 hours later I was in my hotel having a beer. Good job I did because when the storm hit the following day is was a real mother.
