400 miles in one day is the longest trip I have made on my GZ. Done it numerous times. Usually 8-10 hours of riding. Bike was always fine, I would be a bit uncomfortable towards the end of the day, but then I am old and worn out anyway. Hills were no problem for me, just gear down. No over heating problems at all. Start early and take breaks and you should do fine. I am planning a few trips in the 800 mile one way range, and am hoping to do that in 2 days each way. The GZ is not an Iron Butt Bike (1000 miles/day), but is reliable.
