8) I just got home from a 350 mile trip with the PGR, and I have a few comments concerning the bike on the highway. First, we have a Highway Patrol escort for arouns 70 miles of the trip, and we stayed between 75 and 80 MPH. The HD riders were quite impressed with this, especially with the acceleration I had at 70 MPH. The bike was happy when it was over, but it did quite well. For those of you who are new to the Savage/S40, keep in mind the very little weight you have at those speeds. We were in 15-20 MPH wind gust, and it wanted to drift A LOT, and it's cornering was effected A LOT also. One more thing, my S40 is completely stock.
I don't like to ride it like this, but if I wanted to keep up, I had to. This is very unusual for us, but the Highway Patrol called the speed.
I just thought those of you who had any doubts about what these little bikes were like on the open road, would like to hear both Pros and Cons.
Ride Safe and sensible.
