No problem. If anything, the motorway is better, no abruptly joining traffic, no central gaps. Also much easier for following trasffic to pass.
Boring as hell but you'll find many wagons will be sitting at 55mph. They are generally very considerate of people on slow bikes.
I regularly take my 350 bullet on the motorways, sometimes with a trailer on. That will be slower than your YBR.
If you've not been on a motorway before, remember to lifesaver before every lane change, look well ahead for brake lights coming on and if you reach stationary traffic, do NOT be at the back, immediately filter a few car-lengths forwards by any means necessary.
I assume you do have a full licence if you want to go on the motorway. Because learners aren't allowed. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

Why is it that when I go on a tour/trip, the only ‘tourers’ I come across are on 10,000cc missiles carrying everything except the kitchen sink?
I never seem to come across people touring on old Brit iron either?
I was in the car the other day when for the first time in many an age I met two people at a Petrol station returning from a continental trip on old Brit iron.
C’mon people, try touring on something a little different
