I've ridden mine at that speed more than once for an hour without incident and, almost three years after purchase, I still am shy of the "5K" final break-in period. Maybe I was just lucky. You really can't go anywhere of significant distance in CA without going 65 (as it is, you are risking obliteration on the freeway - you really need to be able to maintain 70-75.) Since I bought my "big bike" the only time i take the Geezer on the freeway is to ride the 38 miles to the dealer where I have it serviced.
