What do you think of riding an Mp3 250 from California to the east coast? Is the bike too small? Or is it otherwise unsuited. How many miles per day is reasonale without killing oneself? Have any of you done it? Thanks for advice.

Just to set the record straight I rode back to Nevada not California. God willing I will run in the next Cannonball with my trusty MP3 250. After running in 08 there will be some changes to how I pack and maybe I will be a little more into the race this time. Time will tell. It is the best ride ever and everyone does it for different reasons but what a ride. I am looking forward to 2010.

The bike will make it, but will your tailbone? Ahhh there's the rub!

These guys did it, on what I would say is - arguably - less of a mount than what you propose riding...
