2 years ago a buddy and I rode from Ohio to California and back, 5500 miles in 11 days. I was on my ST 1300 and he was on his Vstrom 1000. Other than having to stop a little more often for gas, and checking chain tension and some lube his Vstrom was the equal to my ST. We even got similar gas mileage. He really liked the Strom for that kind of traveling. Great bike for the money.
