I have an ´89 NX 250 and my wife and I do run around on it and it does good. However, we just run around town, to the movies, to eat or just for fun. I don´t recommend it for long distances especially at highway speeds because it can get a little rough without a windscreen. We took a drive once that lasted close to an hour and at the end I was feeling beat up and we both had numb butts. But it is great for just running around, we even take some off raod trails from time to time (no jumps of course).
