Short rides, you'll love it. Long rides (or more freeway rides) you should look into bigger/heavier bike.

Beware the wind at freeway speeds, particularly on bridges over canyons. Had my first real scare in 15 years on mine going over a high bridge at 75mph with side winds, that 352 pounds isn't very comforting.

Great bike for the right rides. I've done a few 500+ mile days on my '02 and love it, but if I'm actually trying to get somewhere without pulling over every 1.5 hours I take one of my other bikes.

I live at the crossroads of I-81 & I-70, to go north/south I can use Rt 11 and to go east/west I can use Rt 40 and for more twisties and up/down I can use alt.40. Man, that would be just like the days before the interstates were built, yahoo. But it looks like the Chesapeak Bay Bridge is out, winds can be wicked at time on that beast. Have a great day.

You mean the Bay Bridge AND Tunnel? Done it in a car. I bet that would be a rush on a bike.
