200cc choppers. can they handle the highway?

Question

so i go to radiology school. found out i have to go hour and 30 mins to my job site i was thinking about getting one of those "3/4" choppers but im afaird people will just blow right past me. speed on the raod is usually around 70 mph

Answer 1

No that would not do  very well, I have a 250 I ride on the road all the time and with a passenger. But those little choppers I would not do it on. I have   Kymco Venox and run75 and 80 all the time on the high way. I have even made some trips on it. Ran 900 miles in  3 days.

Answer 2

wut doU think?

If you go to radiology school, you should have some semblance of math skills.

Do the math on a 200 cubic centimetre engine keeping up with mac trucks on the highway.

Don't be afraid that people will blow right past you, if you're on a 200 cc , they most assuredly WIll!

Answer 3

I wouldn't use anything less than 600cc on the highway, the large trucks cause high winds and turbulence, and sometimes you need the acceleration power. Really for highway use larger is better.

Answer 4

I don't think they are even legal on highways, and there not powerful enough to have a full size person go a reasonable speed. Maybe look into a used Ninja 250r, or a scooter, they can keep up and are legal.

Answer 5

What you kidding??? 200 cc is just a little bigger then a moped. I would not call 200 ccs a chopper. Get a real bike 500cc or bigger and leave the kiddy toys to the kiddys

Answer 6

nah, it's not gonna handle it, get a real bike if you're lookin to save on gas.

Answer 7

that 200 chopper will do it,but it'll be scary most of those things top out at 60mph . So legal yes ,good idea, not so much.

Answer 8

I wouldn't. I think it's too small.

Answer 9

driving 200 miles round trip on a bike, a day. would kinda suck
