Has anyone done any long trips on the DN-01?

I would say that THAT was ok! That is definitely a LONG trip on the DN-01. The best I've done was a trip to upstate New York from Florida and back last summer. Got caught in the rain during half the trip back home BUT no rust evident anywhere on the bike ... I just love plastic!

Dude, I'm in B'ham Alabama. I thought I had the only DN-01 in town (except for the one owned by BarberMotorsports.com) I do some very good rides with some awesome riders several times every month. Last week we had 25 bikes of all types doing a very well planed scenic class 3 ride. I was being chased by a Ducati Penigale. Lets get together for a ride!

Brisbane to Hobart - Brisbane to Darwin.
Went well. never missed a beat. has 35K on the clock now.
recommend a seat mod and windshield if you are going to do long distance highway. Anything over 95km/hr is unneccesarily turbulent. Still love it though.
After a while it is just an extension of your body. Safe riding.
