There's obviously some wind buffeting at speed but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. My EXC with stock gearing has no problem keeping a 70mph pace with the engine at a reasonable rev. The bike will do 100mph. I don't know if I'd commute every day 25 miles on the highway though? I've ridden a couple 250 mile days on it in the past with no issues...plus it gets a little better than 60mpg on the road
