Just sharing a few thoughts whilst out on a journey.
These low powered bikes have the plus points and negative points and in my opinion I thinks there's a lot of mis informed folk out there who say these bikes can do this or do that. Remember this is my opinion, I say keep the speed down and the bikes will last longer. Sustained high speed riding at 70 mph will shorten the service life of these lower powered bikes.
Yes the engine is still low revving but due to the longer piston stroke the piston speed, friction and wear will be higher.
