Re: Highway Riding on the GZ

I use mine to ride to work: 30 miles of 65mph highway. Doesn't like it, but I can keep up with traffic (most of the time). Sometimes the little thing will do 75 - 80 (I've taken it on trips on 75mph highways); other times, it's straining to do 65. I'm sure I'm not doing the engine any favors by running it like that, but I've already more than paid for the thing in the gas money I've saved.

Edit: By the way, I've lost a lot of weight (about 50 lbs) since the last time I really pushed it to the limit; I'd like to get a nice stretch of open road and see if I can go any faster.
