Urs “Grizzly” Pedraita is the Grizzly being referred to. I thought these mileage numbers might be of interest.
47,390 Miles in 72 Days – Victory Claims New Record for “Grizzly
MINNEAPOLIS — July 11, 2016 — Victory Motorcycles® is proud to announce that Swiss endurance rider Urs “Grizzly” Pedraita has achieved a new world record by riding across five continents in less than 120 days aboard his Victory Cross Country Tour.
Grizzly covered roughly 47,390 miles in 72 riding days and 13 hours by the time he reached a celebration in his honor at Volusia Motorsports in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., on July 10. The previous record for such a ride was 120 days and 2 hours, and included time-stops for transfers. Grizzly’s overall time without time-stops was 119 days and 21 hours.
Grizzly rode away from Daytona International Speedway on March 12 flanked by hundreds of owners of Victory motorcycles who joined him to ride one lap of the Daytona 200 road course and escort him out of town for the first part of his journey.
A comment reads:
From his website: “He rode across all six continents in a solo ride (alone, no service crew following)”

Obviously, with tires, oil, parts, etc. there would have to be some maintenance as the comments allude to as well.
Just something to think about.
