I love this bike. It is perfect for daily commute to work and weekend trail riding. It will go faster than 65 mph, and it will carry a 150 lb passenger very nicely. It gets me to work on twisty, two lane black top at speeds up to 70 mph, but it will only do so while cranking the heck out of the throttle. Maneuvering in city traffic is crazy fun.
Fuel mileage has ranged from 89 mpg to 60 mpg. Hard riding in summer heat takes its toll on fuel economy. Learning to ride on this bike was a snap for the wife (5' 3" and 140 lb)--she now owns and rides a much bigger Kawasaki cruiser. This bike is utterly reliable and a joy to ride. By the way, I bought mine early in 2005 and paid $3,950.
