32 hours and 50 minutes to break the record
I've been contemplating a 7k mile round trip from CA to Cape Cod and back for next May and now the idea of putting that many miles on the bike in 2 weeks is not an issue any more at least.

Let us know when you're in east TN/western NC.
 
I'd recommend you spend a couple days in Arkansas, God made that State for motorcycles!! Head up to Eureka Springs and Beaver Lake area and you'll see what I mean.
Agreed! WifeyPoo and I motorcycle toured NW Arkansas and loved it. We still go back for the mountain biking now that my daughter has caught that bug.

I did two tours, each over 3 weeks on my old 2005 RIII before switching to Harleys (now that I’m not touring like that I’m back on a 21 R3). The issue I ran into was that Triumph dealers don’t stock parts, so any little thing ended up being at least a few days of being stuck somewhere.
With that said, the dealer network and online community is way more robust now, and the new bikes are better.
If you have the time, push that southern route out to Durango for the Silverton to Durango highway, and highway 90 through the Dakotas is way prettier than 80 through the plains.
Enjoy the trip!

I'm actually stopping in Conway for a couple of nights visiting friends and then will head west over the Talamena byway. Other than a couple of night at a beach resort on the east coast I'm not making any detours
 
I'm trying to get a general feel for the longevity of our beasts given the following conditions.
- I've put 11k miles on my 23' R which I bought last year February
- I let it warm up a bit before each ride
- I don't start ripping on the throttle until I've been riding for a few miles
- I change the oil and filter every 3k miles using full synthetic
- I use the recommended 91 octane Chevron or other reputable quality fuel
- I have the Penner tune and Vandemon exhaust
- The bike rarely gets exposed to rain and lives in my shop when not used
Have over 50k on mine, had it since 2004, had it in a barn, later a shed, finally got a proper garage in 2020….. still going strong.
