Picking up my 2019 750X DCT in 2 weeks (1st bike) and my first drive will be 180 miles to get it home. Avoiding the motorways (freeways!) and going to take my time but still a bit daunted. Any advice please? Thanks.

The situation is other way for me. Riding a motorcycle long distance is easier and less fatiguing for me then driving that distance in a car. It shouldn’t be but it is. The times I’ve driven 12-14 hours I’m wiped out compared to a 12 hour 600 mile ride. I think it has something to do with the mental and physical engagement necessary to ride a motorcycle. I get tired and my attention wanders after a few hours driving. Sometimes if I have to travel the 350 miles to visit family and I can’t take a motorcycle I’ll take our 1999 Miata which is more engaging than the CX-5 which is much more comfortable.One of things that I can tell you is that I can drive 725+ miles in my car with 1 fuel stop and not feel as fatigued as I do after a 250 mile day on a motorcycle. Motorcycles can travel just as fast and just as far as a car, but the RIDER of the motorcycle will be far more fatigued than the DRIVER of a car.
