Riding Across Eastern Canada – 12 Days on 2 Wheels

[Gone in 60]

Great plan for a ride! My step-dad was from Canada and travelled in the opposite direction when he was a young buck, eventually turning south and settling in California. He and Mom tripped over each other in a bar one evening, and the rest is history.

Anyway... As Pdedse said, the F750GS is a fine bike for long-distance travel. He and I both have experience on them. In fact, he and I are two more friends broght together by this forum, and his rental was to come to my neck of the woods. He and I have both ridden rented F750GS bikes (not at the same time), and I found it very comfortable and powerful enough for long-distance. The only thing I was troubled with, slightly, was helmet buffeting due to the windsield position. I'm 5'8" for reference. Not a deal breaker. Initially, I was also bewildered by the complexity by BMW's digital dash, but learned it's basic functions well enough to know how fast I was going, and how much gas I had. Once you learn it, it's fairly intuitive, but if you're not a tech fan, spend some time getting used to it.

I'd love to do a long-distance trip! Superbird is just itching to take me somewhere... will be following your journey!
