#102996 RoadieSL (User) 2004 Midnight Star Senior Boarder Posts: 228 Cruising speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   I an 6'4" and about 280LB and when I go for a ride I get tired of all the HD flying past me like I am sitting still I cruise about 75MPH which I feel is good enough and the R* seems to be working semi hard what does everyone else cruise at? Does HD cruise better than the R*??   Logged     2004 Midnight Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #102999 DarekC (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 79 Re:Cruising speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   RoadieSL, are you haveing fun cruising? if so who cares if others go by you.

But sometimes kick it up a bit. A couple of years ago when going to sturgis and seeing things up that way we rode bear tooth pass that year yellowstone and what not. We rode 2300 miles in 5 days... I would say probably 1000 of them miles was running along about 90... Riding with a friend on a HD softtail and he liked running around 90 so we did the same and didnt have a problem. That was with me about 250. My GF on the back she is about 130.. and T bag full of stuff and saddle bags full...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #103018 greyphart (User) bad idea+ experience = good judgement Gold Boarder Posts: 984 Re:Cruising speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   It ain't how quick ya get there it's what ya saw on the way.

I don't care who passess me. I love the ease and grace of the Roadie loping along. Anyway, that's what works for me. Find what works for you and forget about the rest.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #103039 ironman (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 263 Re:Cruising speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   my r* cruises very nicely at 70-72 mph. most times were passing the harleys my how times have changed   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #103040 Questcap (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 388 Re:Cruising speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   I'll be of no help. I don't all that often even get out of third. Most of the time you'll find me on back country roads doin' no more than 40. I live up in the NE, and around here we don't talk about how many miles it is to anywhere, but rather how much time it takes to get there. I don't have a windshield, and I don't ever want one. I live in between Boston and Providence. At the pace I travel, I see the sights, smell some incredible scents, and even with my Santees, I can still hear some sounds... but most of the time it's just the sweet music of my motor. Tomorrow, I'm going to the national Hudson-Essex-Terraplane Club meet and show in Marlboro... taking all back, colonial era roads to get there... it'll be nice hour and a half ride each way. You gotta love it!   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #103041 Heavy (User) If you're going to play - play to win! Senior Boarder Posts: 255 Re:Cruising speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   60-70 on the 2-lane. 75-85 on the Interstate unless it's been a long weekend, my butt's tired and I'm on the last leg home. Then it's closer to 90. And yeah, there's still some throttle left.   Logged     Yes, as a matter of fact I DID have the right-of-way!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #103065 hammer (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 64 Re:Cruising speed 4 Months, 1 Week ago   I have a tendency to move along alittle faster than I should. I'm 2o5lbs and run between 80 and 90 on the highway. Had a fulldresser rollin behind me on an entrance ramp, he came on strong so i just kept creapin her up little by little, he chased me for about 10 mi before he gave up. I have to say there is still more pull left after 90 and mine is still stock!....for now (o7 1700 - 1,300mi on the od). Any one put a stearing stabilizer on on of these bikes.....gets busy in dirty air above 80!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
