RE: Comfortable Interstate speed
around 70mph if only by myself, if the wife is behind me I run 65 as my head starts to hurt from the whacks up side the head. That is why we take the 2 lane roads when she is with me, plus the sites are nicer.

RE: Comfortable Interstate speed
On crowded highways and interstates, I like to ride just fast or slow enough to stay clear of large clumps of cagers.
On a clear road +5-7 mph MAXabove the posted speed limit.

I usually ride a couple of miles per hour below the speed limit. I'm usually not in a big hurry to get there, but am riding for the enjoyment, scenery and just taking in the pleasure of riding.

RE: Comfortable Interstate speed
Consistent with most of the other posts / responses, it seems that my bike has a "zone" or "harmonic convergence" at about 80 mph that makes it just hummmmmmmmmmmmm.....
