I probably wouldn't drive it, not for extended periods of time anyway. The closest to that near(ish) here is 75 in South Dakota and I didn't drive that fast when we were up there. To much damage to the MPG.

Speed limits around here on the interstates are typically 70. The four little hamsters under my hood have a hell of a time doing even that.

I've been on roads posted at 70 and 75. Personally... 75 is plenty fast for routine travel. And too fast for a lot of people...

I'd cruise along at 85 on the bike, no trouble.
