Just bought my first bike: Baja Phoenix 250

I just purchased a Baja Phoenix px250 for cheap. It only has 2300 miles on it, and it looks to be in amazing shape. It sat for over a year with gas in the tank, so the fuel gauge sensor is shot as well as the fuel valve leading to the carb.

I got it to run and idle for a bit multiple times with some starter fluid into the air cleaner, and a new battery of course, it sounded very strong and no odd noises that i could find. I ordered the two new parts online earlier today.

I bought this bike to be my new way to work and school. Im just wondering if it is possible, or safe, to take it on the freeway at 65mph for 10-20 mile stretches. It was dirt cheap and is in almost perfect shape, so i am hopeful. Anybody have any information that would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
