I agree with you 60-70mph is fine. I don't have a screen so above 70mph it starts to be hard work but I am sure the bike would be fine.

So, what speed do you 'drift' at when on the Interstate/Highway? (also, what is the limit of the highway and what accessories you have in front would be nice to know).

I'm finding I tend to cruise at 90-100kmh (~55-60mph), and feel comfortable up to about 115kmh (70mph) (comfortable, meaning I don't feel as if the engine is asking me to calm down).

With a few friends when we take longer trips and hit real highways the speed increases to 140-145mph (87-90mph) which I start to dislike on the drifter because it feels as if it's not really happy there. (or is my drifter 'bluffing'?)

I run a big windshield, handguards, lowers, crashbar covers. Outside city limits we can do 90kmh (55mph) and highways are 140kmh (87mph)
