There'd be a lot of dead motorists around here if that ever happened.....they are nuts with speed limits, I could only imagine how crazy they'd be without any...
I'm in Puerto Rico so we have just enough road to ride non-stop on a good day about 1.5 hours before exiting the highway and hitting the first traffic light. That's doing the speed limit.
With stops, I've lapped the island on the Gen 3 in one afternoon/night, totalling about 400 miles.
I remember those days too, the bikes were more upright though I'm sure, like sitting in a chair at a kitchen table. I don't measure my rides in distance anymore but hours and 4 hours with 3 or so stops is about my limit. I'm on it every other day too so it's not from lack of practice

My GSXR and FZR weren't very upright.....I raced the GSXR so I was on that thing a lot....I had two of them, one for the track only and one for the street, they were the exact same bike basically.
Funny what we ride, I was never a racer boy, it was sports tourers for me, which is the hayabusa basically although more sports I'd say. Back in the early days it was the GS 750, the z1r kwaka, a 650 katana, pretty non-aggressive riding positions even though they had clipons. Even the ZZR 11 was pretty relaxing.
So far in one day (13h) I did 650km. It was about 300km on highway and the rest was on mountain roads / cities.
If I would consider staying just on highways I would be aiming in 1000-1200km in one day. That's pretty realistic on busa with cruise control
