It was... fun. I love riding motorcycles, so it was a great experience regardless. The wind wasn't a concern, but if you've ever driven on 95, then you know that the little gz just cant keep up with the speeds. I kept it at about 70 in the right lane, and I was still getting overtook by 18-wheelers.

Is 195 paved with asphalt or concrete? Is it "grooved" for water drainage? Is it scalloped? (not sure what purposed this serves, but much of my local freeway is scalloped (sort of carved waves in the concrete) and grooved. I suppose I might learn to get used to it, but I can't imagine going 630 miles on the freeway and enjoying it. I have trouble going 55 uphill or into the wind, and the traffic is carreening around me, blowing horns, etc. at an avg speed of 80-85. It's quite nerve wracking, and the bike is dancing all over the pavement.
