Hi everyone.... I am new to all this and am hoping someone can answer a question for me. I live in New Hampshire and I'm just wondering if I am allowed to drive on roads that exceed my Zuma's top speed? I have a 04 Yamaha Zuma, 50cc and my top speed is about 40 on level terrain and I go down to about 30 going up hills. I want to be able to travel a little farther, through 50mph roads, but I don't know the laws of NH so I've stayed on 35-40mph roads. Can anyone help? Thanks and I look forward to your replies! :D
 
Hi Zuma, where I live, restricted roads (NYS thruway) are posted as such.

My 2 cents- I quit motorcycling 40 years ago because of safety issues.
There were too many idiots then, and now there are a lot more.

I do a tad more than pedal speed and am on the side of the road - like a bike- unless I absolutely know my back side is clear for a long ways.

If you can't maintain five mph over the speed limit ON ANY road you are on- you are a sitting duck to get hit. You also need to accelerate as fast as the car behind you if you are in a traffic lane.
A 250cc or greater motorcycle is needed to stay ahead of them.
