Buying a GS and then kitting it to ride across the globe is not the same as some doctor buying one and doing the same so he can ride it to work on Friday. Also, the R6 build thread is the way you build a race bike. It's how factory teams build race bikes. It isn't going to be his weekend canyon carver.
All that aside, I made a nice commission off that Ducati buyer, so I wasn't hating. Not that I give a damn what YOU think of me. You ride a Honda.
If you have the time there’s a lot of excellent road along the way. 16 south of beckley through hungry mother park was awesome and the ride down through hot springs was epic. Been down 3 times in a little over a year and not the same way twice. Slabbing the whole way was my least favorite but as @what said it’s the fastest. It would be a long trip taking the scenic rout in one shot for you. Your a good couple hours further north than me.
