I accidentally posted this in the FAQ section when I meant it to go here, so here is a repeat that I hope to hear more from:
I currently ride an '08 Ural Patrol and though I love it, I am also interested in a solo bike. Like the Ural, I won't use it primarily for freeway rides though in So. California at times it is a necessity. My question is this: At 6' 1" and 240 lbs., am I too big for a C5 Special? I am absolutely sold on the retro looks and really want one, but will I be able to maintain freeway speeds of 65-70 mph? I have read threads here about riding on the Interstates but didn't see how big the riders were. Are there any bigger riders out there with some input? Thanks.
