I always feel rushed when on the freeway and it takes away from the enjoyment. I take side streets and back roads whenever I can.

And yet mine hits redline (sometimes above) in 6th gear on level freeway.
Stock gearing 14/44 with all original equipment on, luggage, etc.
Rider (me) at 72" and about 150-155 lbs suited for riding.
So I am doing the listed 84 mph on occasion when I don't pay attention and have to slow down. Admittedly on steeper inclines it won't break the red. But it's a moderate 250, I acknowledge that and accept that.
