Me and you have something in common then. I owned a 650 Ninja before I owned a car.

No; Farthest I go is Daytona, from Florida's West Coast. Been awhile since I was a fan of long distance riding. No problem when I was younger, but the wind,vibration, and boring interstate monotony just make it no fun after a few hours. Plus, I get bad pulsitile tinnitus when I am sitting for long periods & get up.

When i turned 16 my first mode of transportation was a 1976 Honda 550 super sport. Miss that bike. There have been a lot of bikes in between. With the ultra no daily commute. Weekends yes, Touring yes. Not as much as we like to but do as much as money and time permit.
Last year was up to Niagara falls then over to Maine. Great trip!! This year going to Tenn for a few days. Nothing else planned as of now.

Only once have I ever did over 200 miles in a day. And that day I rode up to work to find out the plant was closed for a power outage. So nothing else to do but..............

I've owned them all and one isn't less capable than the other. I would change the rear shocks and windshield of the SG. I added lower fairings on my RKC and SG. For long trips. But I'm old.
