I couldn't think of a better iron butt bike than the Yamaha FJR.  I've done a few 1000 + mile days on mine but couldn't imagine stringing 10 in a row.

Agreed!   A 1K+ day is doable, but not what I'd consider pleasant..  doing it day after day sounds brutal....
I've only done it once, and I've never really thought I should do it again.
