As long as the oil is changed and regular maintenence is done, other than replacing tires and chains, I have over 26,000 without a hitch (and still counting).

South.
100,000 miles would wear out the Rebel, so you are unlimited on travel.
Figure 600 miles a day at 70 MPH and one day a week to rest up.
Bugging out is more than just about miles, you need finances along the way. Visa's/pass ports/bribes.

The easiest for you would be to go north to Canada.. Way too cold for me, but it is your best option. 600 Miles a day is less than 10 hours in the saddle. Depends on your motivation.

I'm about 350 miles from Mexico, and around 1200 to Canadia. If I had the time and money, I'd go for a ride to Canadia. I could be there in a few days without pushing it, and There's plenty of nice riding along the way. Of course I'd want to get back before fall. If I had to go permanently, I'd head South.

I just got my 250 rebel in late Sept. Got my mc licence last week....put over 300 miles on it so far...it runs great. I am thinking about riding it up to americaid this year, I have lots of friends with Harley...I want to ride my rebel to as many places as it will take me. I'm so excited for this spring. I can't seem to find any people on this sight that live near me. Anyway, Il check back.
Donna

The bike would have no problem. Distance is always determined by the riders endurance.
I did Americade back in 96' and had a blast.

Don't mean to hijack this thread , but I'm planning on driving my bike from Toronto to Saskatoon this spring which is about 3 thousand kms. Bike only has 8 thousand kms on her and all maintenance up to date.
Anyone have tips on what would be a good speed to cruise all day ?and for how long without stressing the engine.will probably stop at 2 motels at night.
Three days drive in total
