Not really sure what your asking burntstick ... but my '94 K75s is very highway capable, has seat height options (I just converted from high to low) and most definitely not chain drive ...

I rack up about 130 miles every day, 4 days/week currently, almost all at 75 mph or higher on my K75. Great highway bike

thanks to the excellent response to my friends ? he's a shorty and between bikes . i think he's open to all makes as well . small displacement 4-500cc would work and  cheap like a brick !
