Oh absolutely. My commute is essentially a straight shot from my house, but it’s a 55mph rural highway where everyone does 60+. My little bike can hit 52mph on a good day, but there’s very little shoulder to use when others want to pass, so it’s either hang on tight in traffic or take the longer backroads 🫤
I’m working on getting my other motorcycle (1980 XR500) ready for street use, that one handles even freeway traffic just fine.
