1,000km is a tiring drive in a luxury SUV. I couldn't imagine 4,000km on a knee-high 125cc bike. They are very cool bikes though. I'd love to buy one, but I want to buy a Rebel first.

According to the article it was a three driver team that was swapping out regularly. Also, the bike was made full size by wrapping the thing in a huge fuel tank. Still, that's a long ride even on a full size bike.

  Wrapping it won't lengthen the wheelbase or suspension so it will still turn in like a little bike. Still will be twitchy at speed like a little bike, and defo going to take pothole just like any other bike with little wheels, terribly.

Then you don't know the meaning of the word "comfort." The B body, culminating in the Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham LS (8th gen, "Body by Fisher") was a rolling couch you could sink into, with that ridiculously static-generating and uncleanable velour. Some Cadillacs and Lincolns were also okay, but Fisher put all other automotive brands, foreign and domestic, to shame in the comfort category.

  Yeah I don't know. Sitting on a rolling couch and keeping focused on what's in front of me is also tiring when I have to do it for 10+ hours. As for the specific car you mention… Umm… Yeah I guess taste is subjective.

    Staying awake is a problem left to the driver. ;) Your tailbone will thank you compared to taking a trip in a Prius.

  Someone should do a side-by-side comparison with a Citroen DS Pallas from two decades before that.
