Vibration usually isn't a problem, but I do find that my hands sometimes begin to feel numb after half an hour of 70+ mph on the Savage, which, unlike certain cult bikes/vibrators, does have a counterbalanced engine. If you keep your cruising speed to something near the speed limit, she should be fine; if you insist on travelling at 80 mph for extended periods, she'll probably get buzzed, tired, and cranky. I second the recommendation of a windshield; my small shield provides a great reduction in upper back and neck fatigue for highway driving. And if you can get her a less restrictive muffler, she'll keep up with you much better when you do hit the higher speeds.
