" Fine for tooling around city streets, learning how to master shifting etc. I would never ever take it on the highway."
"In your experience, and given you have a 227cc engine as well, do you fully agree with that statement?"
If MJH is talking about a Interstate Highway, I agree completely. The 229cc push rod is fine for a 55 MPH road but would be unsafe on a 70 MPH highway. Of course you could do it but not me. I want at least 500cc or more.
Actually, I don't want to ride a motorcycle on an Interstate like the ones around Atlanta anyway. Son of a bitches will cut you off and run over you in a minute.
You being in Denver really hurts the performance of these small displacement bikes. My DF had to be down shifted to fourth to make the grade at 5300'.
I don't know if Sunny sells direct. I think you have to buy from one of their retail dealers.
