I've done 600ish miles on my '00 R6 in one day... it was brutal. I only stopped for gas...
a couple of things to think about... you are going to need to stay slightly dehydrated for a long time. you will need to take in fluids but you want to push potty breaks.
you will want to figure out backpack and saddle bags (or something)… gear, clothes, etc. will add up.
for this trip id make sure you tires are "good" or new. make sure you check your pressures daily to make sure you minimize issues. IMHO you can destroy an aluminum sprocket set if your chain isn't set right... and probably reset before heading east again. when i was riding daily, i was doing airpressure every day and chain tension every weekend.
buy a comfy seat if you have the funds...
retro fit the bike with a USB setup to keep things charged. day one... i'd be playing music a lot.
if you haven't done a tuneup (i don't know how many miles you have on your bike)… it might be worth it.
