1200 miles on clock at Indy circuit of 1.2 miles would be exactly a 1000 laps. Lap record is 1.02 ish. So it would take 1000.33 minutes to do 1200 miles. which is 16.hrs 35 mins ish
1200 miles on GP circuit of 2.3 miles would be 521.74 laps.
Lap record pace is 1 minute 25 seconds. So it would take 739.13 minutes to do 1200 miles.
which is 12 hours. 20 mins ish
factor in lower lap times, fuel stops, tyre changes rider changes etc. you really are looking at 24 hours endurance round.
If I can get that amount of track time for the cost of an average trackday i would be a happy man.
my head hurts

I progressed from slingshot 1100's to SB6's
No comparison 
You can easily work on 1100's
