I once took a new 250 dual-sport on the freeway, entering from a dedicated carpool entrance off the street, and found out it's top speed was only about 60-62 flat out.
It was my regular commute route over 15 years, and it spreads into 2 lanes. Probably the most terrified I've ever been, couldn't move out of the carpool lanes into the 70-75 mph of the regular #1 lane. Had to ride in the median until traffic got jammed up. My error, not anybody else's.
Yeah, 150 cc scooter on freeway is just all wrong.
(+1) regarding the 250 dual-sport. In addition, the steering head would just be too rickety to be safe at 60+ mph.

I wonder what's wrong with your scooters over there (or with the weight of the Kymco rider / chuckle). I own an Italian 125cc for 25+ years, 2-stroke and powerful. With her top-end she 's always just fine on the right lane. No truck ever creeps up on her from behind. Cracks in poor freeways, that's another thing for her little wheels.

LA probably has more Audi/BMW/Mercedes/Porsche/Land Rover/Tesla drivers than anywhere else.
So what conclusion can be reached from those two statements? 'Nuff said.

Thanks, interesting read. But I am worried that sb might turn around and come to the same conclusion for owners of high-end motorcycles.
