the engine? This winter my new XV 250 Star Yamaha sits in the garage covered over with 1/2 a mile on it. I got a heck of deal so that's why I bought it at this time. I've never had this style of small cruiser but now that I'm a senior citizen I had to step down in bike size due to arthritis. This bike has no tachometer on it. What speed is most comfortable for the ENGINE in high gear, I don't want to lug it or push it beyond the r.p.m's this engine was designed to run continuously like on a 200 mile trip. I want this to bike to outlast me and prevent premature engine problems. Any experts out there in this field. Thanks to all who answer.
 
any speed at which your engine is not screaming at you and your testicles are still intact.
