I know 2 strokes can have it rough when holding an RPM for a long time. That isnt quite what those motors are for, but if you are cruising around Kent, i'm sure you'll be fine. The four strokes are much more ready to handle highway speeds for a little longer. This is simply from hear say though, take what I have to say with a grain of salt. Living in Kent during the school year, ive also thought about how nice itd be to have an enduro type bike . Sometimes a full sized motorcycle is a bit much for that area if you live right in town. It is nice for bypassing all those bullshit stops around lincoln though. I know if I hear a loud ass dirtbike cruising around, it'll probably be you. I'll be on the green and white honda F2, though probably not taking it to class as much considering i'll be living right on Vine street next semester. Can't wait. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out in another build thread maybe. I am very interested in the process- Ive thought a lot about trading my F2 for an enduro recently.
