I'm planning a 3 day trip (6 return) from Vancouver to northern Cali this June. Am I crazy to do this on a naked FZ6? My other option is to buy something like an older Honda VFR just for the trip and sell it afterwards.

I did a coast to coast trip - over 8000 miles total in a month - 400-600 a day sometimes.
Not bad at all - the key for me with the long distance was the frame sliders and hooking up your legs on them when your butt starts to hurt. I would fill the tank and then ride till it is empty. I thought it was prety comfortable.
Its a motorcycle - there is buffeting. Following big rigs at 80-90mph...there is nothing that will prevent it.
Riding position is fine - wind not an issue. Except crossing Kansas with 40-50mph crosswinds...just need to lean into it :BLAA:
funny you say that about kansas, my first trip on I70 from manhattan to topeka I was going straight, yet with the crosswinds I was leaned over, that was the weirdest feeling for me. but now I'm used to it.
