Did you ride the 230 all the way from the border to Galeana? or trailer it?
I've geared up my crf to run a nice easy 60 on the highway, with max speed of 75 if I tuck in tight. I rode it from McAllen, about 500 miles in total on this trip cause we spent an extra day in Monterrey. At 60 it is just cruising along at moderate revs. If I need power I go to 5th gear which tops out at 65. Stock rear sprocket is a 50 tooth. I think I am running a 40 or 41. Still has enough guts in 1st to climb hills, as stck 1st gear was very low, like 10 mph.
I pack light, just a backpack with 5 days of clothes and tools, so as to not overwhelm my little bike. I like everything but the seat and stck rear shock.
