I put 11,000 miles on my gz250 last year in 6 months (original plugs).
My first bike meet was at Helen Georgia, it was a 1100 mile bike trip.
In August I did a 2500 mile bike trip to Franklin Georgia. met Jonathan 180ig there.
This ended up being a 2500 mile bike trip. One day I did 550 miles (half at 70+mph on the Interstates) and it was 105-110 degree outside, not counting the heat of the Interstate.
Patrick Henry in Nashville has done a 10,000 mile bike trip in 18 days. He did it a couple years ago with a doctor who did the trip on a Bergman scooter. They rode from Florida to California, to Alaska, to New England and back to Florida.
During the summer, on the weekends, I normally ride 200 miles a day. My commute to work is almost 100 miles and I rode it almost everyday during the spring/summer/fall.
380 miles is no big deal, except for your butt. Good luck with the Monkey butt. I put a sheepskin cover on mine: helps a great deal.
Have fun.
