How are they for stretches where you have to do superslab for a little while? I imagine they'd be struggling to do 65, so it would be a little scary perhaps, but by "not a superslab bike" do you mean "don't ever take it on an interstate", or do you just mean, "don't plan to do an interstate ride"?
After buying the Bonneville, I'm sure it'll be a decade before I can get the wife to allow me to buy another bike; but when the time comes, I want a hack - and it seems like Urals are the only real choice for a hack, since they're purpose-built for it. But I already have one bike that essentially can't do the interstate - ten miles on the superslab is about it for the Stella - struggling to keep an indicated 65, and that's *after* the work I've done. And I find that the difference between the Bonneville (preference for non-interstate, but interstate is fine) and the Stella (really must not do more than a few miles on the interstate) is the difference between a fun machine for spontaneous rides, and a machine that requires careful ride planning even for a thirty-mile ride.
So just *how* non-superslab-worthy are they?
