If yours is like mine (100% stock), you might
discover that 'it' likes faster speeds but
'you' might not -- it tends to vibrate at 65+.
It is worst around 70 and actually smooths out
a bit at 75. Mine has no problems at 80 except
that it's small, and bumps in the road tend
to effect it (and me). Also, at higher speeds,
as the wind pushes me back,and I have to slide
my butt onto the barrier between the seats
to hold my position. I am considering changing
the handlebars for this reason.
It's a brilliant bike for country roads and
bopping around town. If I were doing a lot of
freeway riding, I'd need something else. The bike
holds up to it, but it's hard on the rider.
