A word of advice. If you keep it at 60-62 mph it will live a good long life. Yes, the occasional 65 won't hurt it in short spurts. I can tell you from experience that eventually the engine will break in and feel strong and then the temptation sets in. "Oh, it can take doing 75 mph, no problem." Yes....problem.

The metallurgy isn't there to stand up to a flogging. That's why it cost under two grand while a similar sized Honda cost $5500. Respect the revs and you'll ride for years to come. Succumb to temptation and it will blow.
