Same here. Two 550 miles days gets me to Sturgis, and they're do-able, but it's only because we wanna get there ASAP. But one of the guys I ride with only goes 65 mph because he has a smaller bike that burns oil if he goes faster, so the days are long. If it's hot, we're pretty fried by the end of the day ...

300 to 400 miles a day is average sometimes less and sometimes more, it all depends on weather, sites, etc.
