yeah. Windy days beat the crap out of me on the highway. I rode it to a bike show a few weeks back that was gusting like crazy - my fuel light usually comes on right at 60-65 miles right on the nose every time; this time it came on at 50.
plus, the seat doesn't give much confidence when accelerating hard or on windy head-winds....feels like I'll slid off lol. I've gotten used to it now, however.
It's definitely a bar hopper, or something to bomb around town on. It's sweet spot from a cruising perspective is right about 60. It'll go 70+ all day long with power, but 60 seems just right from an RPM perspective. It only has a 5 speed, so that has a lot to do with it.
