Will a honda cbr300f be enough for me to ride to and from work?

I'm looking into buying my first street bike. I'm wondering will a cbr300f be enough to take me to and from work. My work is 35 miles from my home. I weight about 175 and that is without protective gear. I want to know before I get my hopes up if the 300f will allow me to ride at 70 or 80 miles per hour and still allow me to accelerate to pass vehicles if needed.

I've seen a few flew pass me when the speedo on my 2013 Civic shown 80. The biker was so huge I could not tell a He or a She, passed me like I'm standing still.
