GreenMachine, I totally understand where you're coming from, but it's not 76, 95, or any other major highway that I use. I live right off of Rt. 3, and take that all the way eastward until it becomes Market St.
Yes, there's still risk, but it's not risk at 70mph. The KLR screamed when I took it on 95, so I don't think I'll be doing that again. The wind on that road is also incredible, so I don't really enjoy getting blown around on it. I tried the expressway on a 250cc scooter, and just about shat myself. That's a mistake once made not soon forgotten. But all in all I've found 3 to be relatively manageable, as crappy as the road itself is. If the C5 can't handle it, then I'll just keep on using the KLR and get something nicer for the weekends. There's no reason to beat the hell out of a nice bike to save $5 a week in gasoline.
The more I think of it, the more it seems that RE needs to get production of this new multifuel adventure bike underway!
Maturin,
Vielen Dank für the advice. Good to know the UCE can scream along, if asked to, without grenading.
