On a 2 lane highway like it in 5th gear at 60-65 mph on freeway set cruise in 6th at 75 mph

Here in MT. the freeway speed is 75 MPH. I have run the trike all day at 80MPH with speeds up to 90MPH at stretches and had zero problems. You can safely cruise all day at 80 / 85 mph. Gas mileage seems best at about 75 MPH . If you broke your motor in right you will have no problems. I just switched to Mobil 1 syn. at 5K miles and the bike/trike is very happy.

75 on the slab all day long. 30,000 + with no issues other than running that way usually results in spitting a little oil out the AC.

Runs best at about 70-72 in 6th....best MPG also. A lot of my 2 wheel buddies like to run 80-85. I tell 'em to jump out there, I know where we're going/staying. I'll be there maybe 7-10 minutes later and feel a whole lot safer.

72-77 all day...34-35 mpg.
|
75 to 80 on the slab. Had it up to 95 mph into a head wind, didn't feel like there was a whole lot left.
