My cruiser gets to feel a little cramped after that many miles in spite of a plush aftermarket saddle and high end highway pegs.
They hope to resume their runs after a year long hiatus because of Covid concerns.
The Yamaha V-max engine ( V-4 ) can be found in the Yamaha Royal star line of Touring Cruisers in addition to the incredible V-max. The cams in the Royal Star line are different that that found in the V-max to optimize mid range torque more suited to touring and towing a small camper or luggage carrier. They run great but the 4 carburetors are really tough to work with and synchronize.
If I had a spare $ 60,000, this is what I would want. The T-rex Campagna is a 3 wheel " auto car " which is considered a motorcycle / trike. It features a 4 cylinder in line motorcycle engine. For that kind of coin, I'm wondering why they didn't put in an efficient all aluminum 4 cylinder car engine and drive system.
