For those with the 630 and use it as a commuter at times how does it do? I commute a distance to work and recently sold my LC4 as it was not useful at all as a highway bike.. Been looking at a 630 recently and thinking it could do double duty as a DS ride and commuter? I have a 45 mile stint of highway, 75mph, then on each end it be 8 miles of lower speed.. I need a bike I could load in a van as I work out of a large cargo van and it be easy it stuff a bike in and keep it with me.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Thanks, thats what I was hoping.. I used to carry my st legal gasgas enduro bike around in my work truck to ride at different locations. but it be easier if I could leave my van at the jobsite and ride out on the streets. Also having the option of riding to work or home from work on nice days is a major plus.
I bought a 2011 sm630 in april and I'm averaging about 50 mpg. That's stock no mods other than handgaurds. I'm still breaking it in but when I picked it up the dealer said people are getting 40-60 mpg depending on how you ride it. I'm right in the middle and am very happy. I don't do much highway riding but with wind I really don't like going above 75. I've had it up to 85 as a top speed, but I haven't really pushed it. The bike is geared tall. Hope this helps

40-60 depending on how hard you are on the throttle. Mine is stock except for the power up kit and I get around 45-47.
I don't care for speeds on the highway much faster than 65. At those speeds, the wind really starts to beat me up. For short bursts (like a commute), it's fine, but spending the day at those speeds really wears you out.
