690
Why not a 690E? They are fast, fuel injected, way more of a dirt bike than any 9xx, but will still go down the road just fine. And there are a few different big tank and luggage options.

500 miles / 20MPG = 25 gallons * (50:1 ratio) = .5 gallons. that's a lot of "blenzall" to carry - i think we have something better worked out!
