It's not as bad on the expressway as you might think. It's pretty comfortable at 65mph, with much less vibration than I expected.

A lot to get used to with this bike. I haven't owned a dirtbike since I was a teenager. The height (I can just get the tips of my toes down), the lack of torque (though if you spin it, it can definitely move), and the vague steering (semi-knobbies and the fact that I've been riding taught and planted sportbikes for the last ten years) are all a bit new.
