Not formally, but I've done 820 miles in a day. I think I would have been able to get to 1000 that day because by the time I got to my destination I was doing fine. This was the last day of a 10k mile trip where I averaged 500 miles a day, so my body was used to the bike.
My best advice is for you to "train" your butt by doing 400 to 600 mile trips several weekends or days in a row.
I'm planning on doing the BB1500 this year. What I have considered so far,
- Check weather
- Stay on highways and check for construction before hand
- Plan gas stops and check ahead if the receipt system works
- Be very familiar with the Iron Butt documentation process
- If you are not doing a loop, plan your night stay ahead of time
- If you can, ride from east to west and you'll save daylight and end up saving an hour if you switch timezones
