I suppose if I wanted highway cruising speeds, I should look for a highway cruising bike and not badmouth the little Benly for being in the slow lane.
Thanks for the words of wisdom to all who replied.
Good call. These little machines are a lot of fun on the back roads and around the subdivisions.

For long distance I ride my Triumph, but for rides around the lakes and woods I usually grab a small Honda from the fleet in the garage. Today it was unseasonably warm for northern Michigan ... 39 degrees, so I took my CB175 for a 20 mile ride, topping out around 60 mph. These little twin cylinder bikes are very therapeutic.
