I can hit 75 mph on the interstate with chin on the gas tank, else 70 mph is the max speed. Riding 2 up, she's do about 55 mph. Since most people outgrow this bike in about 6 months, I figure I'm about ready for an upgrade...It's a shame that small displacement motorcycle have fallen out of favor. They make great around town bikes. Back in the early 70s a 250 would have been considered a mid sized bike. When I was in high school there were 4 of us that rode motorcycles to school. I had a Honda CB360T, another had a Yamaha DT360 (he'd pull wheelies leaving school), another had a Honda CB500, and the forth had a Suzuki X-6 Hustler (250cc 2 stroke). I'd sure like to see some smaller standard style bikes come back like Yamaha's SR400
And yes, I think that is vfrpaul98! He mentioned he was already on the forum...
