No question that it CAN do it.......the question is SHOULD you?
IMHO, it is not a good idea to operate any engine at or very near to it's performance limits for very long.................if you care about the longevity of the engine, that is.
You didn't say what sustained speeds you were achieving on the Interstate part of your trip.
This is, after all, a matter of opinion and there is no way to tell in advance if any ONE specific bike will be able to handle the strain or not. Most will do it fine; a tiny few won't. I'm not gonna take the chance.
FWIW, I think if you are gonna do much riding above 60 mph, you have the wrong bike. :cool:
