I used my Hawk on the highway all the time. 60-65mph is not scary at all. 5 lanes wide at rush hour on my Hawk, no problem.
I do agree that the slower back roads can make for a more enjoyable journey, but sometimes you just need to make some time and put some miles under you.
Maybe I am just so used to highway riding that I don't see it as a big deal.
