When I did my big trip (Edmonton-Fairbanks), I took it very leisurely; 6 hours a day (over 10 hours) about 300 miles (and this being the Alaska Highway, it was mileposts, even though signed in km). That was comfortable, but only because I was on a low-grade oldsmobile (Suzuki GS850 with full touring kit). If motorcycle isn't happy (as opposed to capable of) doing 60 mph for hours, don't try it.
And yeah, butt was never the problem - more hands and wrists. Oh, and the wasp that hit my chest, fell into my leathers, and didn't quite die. That was the fastest "stop, kickstand down, get off, strip" I've ever pulled off...
Prairie, desert, same thing riding a motorcycle. BORING. (On the other hand, straight chews up the miles better than 60 km of Kluane Lake-front meandering, so your 6 hours will cover more ground than mine did).
