RE: Comfortable Interstate speed

Depends on the winds, road condition, traffic, etc but if all those are ok, 70-75 mph.

RE: Comfortable Interstate speed

90+ on the interstate, but the new roady cruise control max is 85mph, so i'm kinda getting used to that, as fas as speeding tickets, most cops wont bother anyone doing undar 90, but start getting above and its ticket time, i know, i have enough of them.........

RE: Comfortable Interstate speed

Like I said, around 90 is good for me. I have been lucky in that the bike really seems to handle well at that speed. Now, keep in mind, this is only on the bike. When I am in my truck, or the wife's car, I only go the speed limit. Whatever is posted, is the max, in the cage. There is just something about being on the bike that makes me want to ride fast. I don't however, take it over a 100. I was up at like 102-103 once. Realized how fast I was going, and eased up. LOL. However, I suspect that once I get some engine work done, I will start to feel comfortable over a 100. We shall see.
