Welcome, ACD. Simon, from Yuma, AZ. When you hear or read about the high temps in Phoenix, it's usually a little hotter here!! The winters are very nice and dry, so 6 months of cool, dry temps, 6 months of hellish heat. (The only thing to defend is that it is still possible to do things on the hottest days, unlike the cold, snowy days you have in your winters, as long as your car air works, and the place you go to has air. We don't have to bundle up and worry about sliding off the road, either, due to rain or ice)I wouldn't count on any of the GY200's humming along at 65 minimum. If it makes you feel better, many of the dual sport Kawasukiyamahonda's 200-250's don't cruise well at 65, either, from what I understand, at least when they are loaded down for extended trips.

They are great, street legal bikes for around town riding, but don't take them in the sand like I learned the hard way last weekend.
