RE: Comfortable Interstate speed
On my old RKC, with it's 3.37 gearing, anything above 70 felt like the engine was screaming. I didn't like it.
The RG on the other hand is comfy at any speed. I find myself missing the slab every now and again because it feels so good to click 6th, hit the cruise around 80, and crank the tunes.

Don't really care about MPG too much............70-85 with or without the wife, doesn't matter . Really depends on my mood & the # of LEOs around

RE: Comfortable Interstate speed
This may have already been said, but I will say it again at the risk of being a copy-cat...."What's the rush? When you are on your Harley, you are already where you want to be."And, as mybest ridingbuddy says, "just getting there is more than half the fun."
ENJOY THE RIDE, no matter what the speed.
