In my opinion it is unsafe to ride any 200cc, air cooled, carbureted motorcycle on limited access highways or interstate highways. If you want to do this kind of riding, you need at least a Kawaskai Ninja 250 or Honda CBR250R.

If the speed limit doesn't exceed 55 mph, the Roketa DB-05H will work for you. I have inspected the TMEC bikes up close, and they are decent motorcycles, but they are not worth $500 more than the Roketa DB-05H.

If you dislike the 'beak' on the Roketa, you can easily install a new front fender and/or headlight. I like the Polisport Universal Supermoto fenders.

If the vendor will honor the $1,199 price, including shipping, that is one of the best deals on Chinese motorcycles I have seen in a while. Once you start approaching $2,000, you are better off to look for good deals on slightly used, Japanese motorcycles. If you want to ride limited access highways, forget about Chinese bikes, and start looking for a good deal on a Kawasaki Ninja 250.
