Did you have to plan your stops carefully with the tank range of the Honda? How long did you take to do the trip? I did it in a day  North to South a few years ago for charity. Never again though my backside was killing me did it on a 04 Fazer 1000

hi ya stm gtr

we did the trip over 1800 miles and 4 days lol even then i got off that bike walking like john wayne ha ha

yes 4 days 1800 miles our trip was planned thus well we live in wiltshire royal wotton bassett
so the first day after work was the trip down to lands end cornwall stayed the night there
then the next day day 1 we did the west coast of cornwall straight up through to devon
up on though ilficombe minehead back to the m5 at bridgwater summerset  then took the m4 into wales
then through the brecon beacons on to cardigan stayed the night
day 2 cardigan to ayr we went over the snowdonia mountins north wales round the bottom end of liverpool
onto the m6 for a few miles then straight through the lake district lake windermere then back on the m6
to carlisle...... then straight to ayr? stayed the night in ayr early start next day day 3 ayr to john o groates
ayr traveling north of glasgow onto fort william right along the locks lock loman lock ness
then to inverness across the three bridges straight up the a9 to wick then john o groates
day 4 straight down the motorway home m6 m5 m4 a bloody long ride lol

as for tank range on the vfr i dont know why people are botherd about tank range
well for me 200 miles is plenty the vfr done about 180 mile to the tank
but we found that we stopped every hundred odd miles anyhow
stretch are legs have a coffee go to the loo getting old now ha ? so we just filled up then no problem at all
i guess if your in the outer mongolla in the middle of nowhere a big tank would be a great advantage
but here in the uk it really isnt a problem as theres petrol stations in every town and every other village
mind you saying that ive heard the highlands you may have to plan your millage a little closer
