How capable is the RX3 for highway riding?

The bike's measurements are WAY off. That's not true speed as it the bike is not calibrated correctly (most motorcycles share this same issue). Closer calibrations if the 19" front rim/tire is put on it. The bike can do ~80 max when measured with GPS. When I did the bike review, we conducted a series of highway tests to ensure we were getting a true sense of top speed of the machine. 77 mph was able to be obtained fairly quickly (in RX3 terms) and up to 80 took a while, in a tuck and did not stay there - waivered back between 77 & 80 depending on various environmental factors.
