Will my Honda Rebel 250 handle an hour on the highway at 60/65mph?

I just had my truck tires stabbed by one of the wild 10 year old kids that roam my neighborhood. Now I need to ride my motorcycle to work. I'm not a big fan of highway riding. It's scary and I don't want to die. Anyway, the question is - will my little Honda Rebel 250 handle going 65 for an hour continuously? I know it's not meant for high speeds and is more of a little put putter.

It will do just fine, if you don't like the freeway just stay in the far right slow lane. The bike can handle the speed.

Yes, I run my 250cc scooter at 70mph all the time.

Avatar Zak, Sorry about your tire damage Your motorcycle can get up to speed, but based on your read, if you are so afraid of driving it, I would suggest that you go at highway minimum speed (usually 40 mph) . There's no use to go "push" the bike and your nerves just to get no where fast.
If you are in a hurry, and primarily interested in using alternative transportation to get somewhere because of a downed truck,( considering) , you might consider getting a friend to drive you (or the bad kid's parents).

Youll b ok

Question: Will my Honda Rebel 250 handle an hour on the highway at 60/65mph?
Answer: HELL YES!

I'm riding a wimpy Vespa LX150 and I ride 60-65 mph on the Interstates, 100+ miles non-stop.
A Rebel 250 is loafing, cruising at 60-65 mph. It top over 75 mph.
A 330 pound Rebel is also a hell a lot stable than my 245 pound scooter with it's 10"-11" wheels.

I took my 250 dual sport on a ride for a hour and it handled just fine. 60 mph would be best tho. It won't sound stressed as much and will keep the vibes low

I'd just take an alternate route/county highways and leave a hour/half hour early.

For a quick tire, get a used one at a junk yard, $35 mounted where I live.

Should be fine. The engine size effects acceleration more than top speed, because there really is not much wind resistance. Helps to keep low. Put a foam pad on the gas tank, and lean down on it. Just keep the rpm within reasonable range. Up to 5500 rpm.
