I find it interesting how the perception is that higher hp is needed for 70mph. My 2006 Vespa GTS250 runs 70mph easy all day, even in headwinds and inclines.

Hi, I currently own a 2018 Royal Enfield Himalayan, which is my first adventure style bike. The bike is well suited to New Zealand road conditions as our speed limit is 100kph and the bike seems to cope well with my 6'4.5" frame and the luggage. Before this one I had a Honda Deauville and scoot...
