Well.....that depends on what you actually mean by "do well" and "highways".

They do very good on non-interstate type roads with actual prevailing traffic speeds of 65 or less. When the prevailing speed gets above 65, it is uncomfortable to keep up; above 70 and it borders on dangerous.

The little devil actually can sustain 70, on the flat, after it is broken in for a couple of thousand miles but most riders are not comfortable doing that. It is happiest around 60, in my experience (that's with a 16T front sprocket).
