I wouldn't know what it tops at via GPS. I am just giving generalized statements. If the bike can't go beyond 70, then it isn't much better than a Hawk, and thus my remarks on the Hawk are more fitting.
Not only that, but compared to a Chonda dual sport, that bike is an aerodynamic machine. A Hawk/TT250/Brozz etc. are parachutes on wheels with all of their big high fenders, tall wheels, and tank panels poking out with the frontal area of a barn with how high they sit. If I can get a Hawk to cruise at 60 and not be straining itself to death, it should be a breeze with a bike that has more top end power to work with, much smaller and lighter wheels, and just a smaller bike overall.
Why change your mind on verifying it? If you are so concerned about people buying the bike for the wrong purpose then actually verifying it's real capabilities is important. You would also be able to give your own opinion on what you feel is what I considered the realistic speed the bike can do where it isn't being pushed at 100%. I never once said any of these bikes were "comfy" at 70. As far as I know, most of these bikes are being wrung out at 70 if they can even get there to begin with, and depending on gearing, "comfy" around 55-60 tops.
