Just signed onto this forum for information, I am considering purchasing a Slingshot, can no longer ride motorcycle long distances, I want to take it to Blue Ridge Parkway or occasional trip to Ohio. Will it cruise at highway speeds of 70 MPH without straining the engine ?

I don't know about 70 but I do know it cruises fine at 90!

I have had the cruise set at 100 mph quite a few times. Going to Ala. a few years back we ran over 100 mph from Atlanta to Huntsville. We were running with one of those high dollar jammers leading the way.

Welcome to the "World of Slingshot Insanity"... Most of us here have a history on two wheels. I did not start ride until age 49 and put 250,000 miles on Gold Wings (loved it) and at age 71 I bought a Slingshot (Feb 2015) and have put 106,000 miles in the seat. The largest/oldest rally for the Slingshot in 'Slingshot in the Smokes' Check out http://www.SlingshotRoadster.com ... Maggie Valley, NC
probably be 500 Slingshot there for the week. Look around for a used Slingshot --- 2015 thru 2019 had the GM 2.4 ecotec and a 5 speed tans. Look around and you can get some great deals...as always a few guys think they have something REAL special and want $$$$$$.

I am probably straining my engine more from not running over 50 very often.

if you are lugging the engine running slow in the higher gears you are.
