I was reading your first post and thinking, "man, I am a wuss." Then, I read this and felt better.
The most I do in a day, usually, is 350 miles, but I always ride with my wife riding pillion. We stop a lot, take long lunches, and do a lot of sight seeing. I plan my trips in 1 hour segments where I ride for 45 minutes and stop for 15. Give or take, which works out to about 45 miles an hour and about 8 hours of riding.
When I am by myself, I can ride non-stop between tanks, which is about 150 miles. I do take long breaks at gas-ups though to recover. Still, it would be pretty reasonable to expect to get in a 500 mile day without trying too hard and 600 if you had fast roads.
