Except for the interstate most of us travel at 55 mph or the posted limit. Interstate travel is posted at 65 or 70 mph in most states. Just because some folks think highways are race tracks doesn't mean we have to follow suit. Yes, I understand the 80% rule of traffic and if things are too hairy I select an alternate route. I just had a conversation with a young man who is slowly recovering from a 130 mph motorcycle crash in Florida. With any group ride safety is paramount.
The record of 472 mpg was set at Laguna Seca by a Japanese rider in a full shell 125cc Honda. Actual riding conditions will vary so it is important to qualify city cycles and highway speed to understand the efficiency of the rider/ bike combination.
