Great for highway riding.. comfortable is its game.. cruising speed is its middle name... great all around sport/tourer! Comes with factory warranty until next Feb.
Just curious...why are you selling your ride already?

He said it was at 5500rpm at 60mph, I would like to cruise at 70 for going to work. Is this ok to run the bike at this high of sustained rpms or should older bikes really stick around 55mph?
No problems. I toured North America on a 360 twin.....60-70mph for 12,000miles....and I'm here in one piece!
There was a lit..t..l.e.....vibr....a...tion though!
