Always reckon a true biker will ride any bike any distance regardless of size. A few years ago when I bought my 225cc Serow in Barnstaple North Devon, I rode it the 350 miles back to Cork. 
I was on the back of my friends Gs12000 as far as Bristol on the way to Barnstaple and rode my other friends VFR 800 from Bristol to Barnstaple when he rode pillon on the GS1200 (he was not used to long journeys). I was the first back to the ferryport in Pembroke for the 2:45am ferry, they got lost when they took a wrong turn off the M4 :rollin :rollin :rollin
When I am riding long journeys I count down the towns I'm passing by or through rather than thinking of the overall milage, it make the journey feel shorter. My trip back from Barnstaple to Pembroke on the serow was about 12 towns/cities which were around 20 miles apart. I was picking off around 20 miles at a time, which did not feel as bad as counting down from 220miles.
