Top Speed/Highways

Probably a topic done to death ... but ...

So, took my first ride on a GZ250 this weekend. A friend bought one as their first bike. Wife and I and friend took it to an abandoned parking lot and friend was practicing, getting use to the feel. Learning counter-steering, emergency stops, etc.

Anyways, I ran it down the service road. I weigh 250lbs and was running the bike at 60 mph. It didn't seem to mind at all.

Everyone has been saying, "It's not a highway bike, but it will be great in town". Is that true? I didn't get it out on the highway, but I was feeling like I would be able to keep up. And if friend is a 100 lbs lighter than me, she should be fine, right?

I mean, once she's built up her skills.
