Re: Not the speed I expected.

I would just get it up to speed and then see where she settles in. Bike are a lot more communicative than cars on as far as knowing their comfortable speeds. There should be this butter spot where she'll just purr and you know it's where she needs to stay. The specific speed will change given terrain and outside temp.

I don't have much first hand knowledge of that particular bike, but the butter speed for just about every other bike tends to be somewhere between 55 and 70. You'll just have to see how she feels.
