It looks a lot like the Urals. I'm perfectly happy with my Ural, and the Ural is ok'ish doing about 70mph on the highways. The weak link in the Ural's top speed is actually the final drive. It's a shaft drive, so everything is whirring around at right angles. There's an aftermarket final drive that will handle more power and a higher top speed, but it's sever thousand dollars, and not really worth it, IMHO. Also, once you get going too much faster than 70, things can go very bad very quickly. Personally, I ride the Ural because I want t enjoy the ride, not because I want to set any speed records. I'm happy for you to have a unique bike like that, I'm sure it's a real head turner. Happy riding, and be safe!
