Over the last few months I have noticed an interesting trend in my riding endurance. On my previous FZ6, I was not able to ride it any decent distances without needing breaks. Today, I was able to ride for 3 straight hours, 140 miles, with no more than putting my feet down at stopsigns or the occasional traffic light. It finnally hit me when I got home what might be helping me with my riding endurance.
Back in August I picked up road biking. Now, I can usually do a good 15-20 miles in a ride, with an occasional 30+ mile ride. So far, I have ridden around 550 total miles since August. I think this has greatly increased my body's capabilities to ride the motorcycle for longer distances.
So the overall moral of this, one of the best things you can do for your motorcycle riding abilities, is get in shape , and bicycling is a fun and easy way to do so that keeps you on two wheels.
