    Cost per day to tour

    You are pretty close on that. It will depend on what gas mileage u get and how much for hotels. If you look for cheap motels - 60 a night or under then you probably can do. I would say it is more around 150 a day. I should have said that Canada is way more expensive then the U.S. You haven't...

    Vstar 120ish top speed?

    You are running a heavier bike . Also they usually charge by the CC - it normally goes up by 500 cc at a time . So your 250 is in the lower bracket for insurance. 500 to 1000 is another and so on. My 1300 v star is 1300 in change for a year so that is not a bad price. As to speed should be able...
