does an xs400 belong on the interstate...

[miahlaw]

I did a quick search and didnt see this topic recently anyway.. sorry if its an over post.

My question is, whats the opinion of a bobber xs400, does it belong on the highway, as in interstate, where speeds are 65-75mph, and most people are doing well over that.
My commute to work takes me along 55 for about a 20-30 mile stretch where posted speed limits are 70+
its pretty busy in the morning and evenings...i wonder can the bike keep up, and how hard will it run to keep up. opinions..?

I do a lot of riding on interstates, generally run an average of about 75-80 mph. It takes some getting used to, with the wind on your helmet and chest. And the first few times overtaking big trucks is a little daunting, but nothing too bad.

I do have a DOHC though, which is just a little bit faster than the SOHC.
