:plus1: To all of that.
"Little" hills are no problem, even with a 16T front, if there is nobody on your tail and you don't mind your speed dropping a bit. If it drops below 55, then you hit 4th.
I may be older and more worn out than Softie but I limit myself to ~ 300 miles, 6 hours a day, again because of the rider and not the bike.
And one more time for effect: The bike can be a problem mechanically if you are stock and INSIST on running it WOT/WFO/balls-out at speeds above 65 mph for long periods (very high RPMs). The little beast is NOT well suited for use on the Interstates.......but is OK there if the flow is 65 or less or the traffic is light.
