First real motorcycle trip!

It's going to be a solo 2300km (about 1400 miles) circle trip from Rome on my Honda NX500, passing trough the alpine pass "Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße" which together with the city of Salzburg, Innsbruck and the Garda lake is tought as the main highlight of the journey. As per title, this will be the first time i'll cover the distance and will be done without taking highways nor unpaved roads, so i'm a bit afraid of the amount of time i'm supposed to ride: I split the trip into 6 stops (in hotels with comfy bed so i should be fine right?) but most of the sections are going to be 7-9hr of riding (without counting the inevitable pauses in between). Nonetheless i'm very excited and felt like sharing this here! Please feel free to share any tips and advice!

Edit: Thanks for all the replies guys! I forgot to mention that the trip was planned with Kurviger: A navigating tool made for riders that allow to create a gps track with more twisty roads, at the cost of efficiency and times of course. So in a sense i feel that if i start getting tired i can always open Google maps and go for the quickest route (or for the highway in the worst case). after all, none of the section is above 400km (250miles). Still, i'm aware that especially in the Alps it might be difficult to get a quicker route than the one i'll be already doing, so i'll prioritize nutrition, hydration, mindfull pauses and sleep anyways! Thank you nonetheless for the apprehension and for sharing your experience, it makes feel less isolated in my adventure!

Also: If any of you feel like sharing a part of the trip with me please feel free to dm me, i'll be doing this from 21st june till the 26th!
