There are other IBA rides that I would like to attempt in the future, but I will not be attempting another IBA ride on my Bandit! I know that it isn't a sport bike, but for my body, it IS too sporty for anther 1000 mile ride. I was quite comfortable up to the 500mi point and if the day had ended there I'd have been happy to grab some sleep and get up and do another 500mi the next day. However, after completing the SS1000 I spent most of the next day sleeping or lounging on the couch, too tired to do much else.
I've been wanting to get a new bike for a while now. Not sure what yet. I've been looking at the Wee Strom, Concours 1000, and ST1100. Finances aren't really in place for a newer FJR or ST1300. I love the Concours 14, but again its the $$.
When I do get some $$ together and if I buy a more comfortable bike (who knows, I might lose my mind and buy a z900 next, they're sweet!) I have my eye on doing an SS1000 around Lake Ontario and Lake Erie as well as the BB1500.
