I just don't have enough garage space for one.If I didn't loan my car out half the time, I wouldn't have room either!
How does the little Tux handle freeway speeds? Where I live, city riding requires some amount of freeway travel.
Finally got a chance to "open her up" today on I-395 S out of DC. Goes nicely/slowly up to ~70, and every thing above that is just a bonus depending on the incline and how much you ate for dinner. I'd like to give a shout out to the guy on the sticker-covered sport bike racing me back in to the city. I got up to 85. Woulda hit 90 if a cop hadn't showed up at the big hill! Would also like to shout out to the old man on medium sized red Yamaha who passed me heading out of town in the afternoon. Looked like a 2-cylinder something from the 80s. I thought "hope I'm that cool in 30 years". Riding is great, isn't it?
