bike is better at acceleration. Her top speed is just under 90, but I find she prefers to cruise at around 70 highway & is a smooth shifter & agile for windies, backroads & city riding. She is not built for speed but has quick response & acceleration when needed. Don´t abuse her & treat her well& she will last forever, I love mine, they just don´t make them like this anymore.
