If I slowed to 60 and really tried (no A/C, etc.) it would have been very easy to hit 45. This is one slick machine.

It's still fun to drive too. It doesn't accelerate like mad, but with the 6500 RPM redline, it feels like it's really trying. The power band seems to be in the 3000 range and it gets a bit wheezy in the upper RPMs.

With max torque near 60 -- that may be the sweet spot. I may rent it again (if I can) and really work it over. The long-distance comfort really wears on ya though. I'll take one for the team
