Sounds great. I finally got my bike, '81 Honda CM400E, in working order just in time for it to get cold last fall. Definitely check the tire pressure. Mine seemed like it was slowing down really fast even when I was holding the clutch last year, so I checked the pressure. Bumping it up from 25 to 40 or 45 made a world of difference, but the tires didn't LOOK low at all before I filled it up. Also, you're just not going to get the same coasting distances out of your bike as you would a car. All things considered, bikes have pretty miserable aero and you don't have all the extra mass and rotational inertia that 4 wheels and a passenger compartment has, but that's ok, because you're burning less energy to get going. Crotch rockets have slightly better aero with all their farings and such, but I don't think it's enough to matter.
