click on Tom's bike in Bronson garage and at the top you will see the link. Sometimes I wish I still had that bike!

I had no problems keeping up with traffic. Most of my riding was back roads but you can cruise on the interstate when needed with out issues.
I could get 200 miles to a tank on the back roads. My best was 245 in Alaska running at a slower pace of course.
