For the sake of the thread, I am going to assume everyone in here owns at least 1 tourer. So my question is speed limits aside, what is your comfortable highway/interstate speed? In other words, when your ridding forlong adistance, whats thecomfortable speed you get up to andstay at and could leave there all day if legally possible? Me myself, I like to put her at 75 and just roll.Interested in hearing from you all.

 

80-85 for me, I have run for extended periods above that.....

 

I get better fuel mileage at 80 than I do at 70.....very smooth runner at 80

 

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.

 

AROUND 80 - 85... Less then that the cagers & 18's will run ya over... & I get around 42 MPG also...

 

I enjoy 80 + mph here and there,but over the long haul,a steady 75 mph means the reaction time availableincreases if any bad stuff happens.

Maintaining high speed over a sustained period of time means maintaining higher concentration along with it,there's only so long you can keep that sharp.

 

My bikejust loves80mph... Its in the zone at that number...

 

75 seems to be where I end up most of the time, but 80 is good too!

 

shorty windshield=55/65mph depending on Speed Limit (too much wind noisefor me)
Tall windshield-80mph

 

75 - 80 MPH is where I feel comfortable and seem to get the best mileage. Too bad it is illegal....
;-( !
