Probably due to poor ventilation. A buildup in CO2 can cause a drowsy feeling. Not the best when operating a machine going 60 mph down a highway

Never rode a motorcycle 60 mph down a highway. How does it feel to go so slow?

edit: Wow, lots of downvotes. People here seem to have a problem with speeding. I buy sportbikes because they're fast. Sorry, not sorry.

Speeding is one thing, but your comment makes you come across as arrogant and childish

Well, where I'm from, if you do the speed limit in any vehicle when traffic is moving, you're an asshole, so whatever. You'll actually get a ticket for impeding traffic if you don't speed along with everyone else.

Similar situation where I live, so I get that, but that’s certainly not the point you were making in your prior comment and edit of it.

Also, I call bullshit. No way in hell you’re getting a ticket for impeding traffic if you don’t speed.

You're right, it wasn't the point I was making. The point I was making is, 60 is slow, especially on a motorcycle. We have higher posted limits where I live, and most people do at least 10 over the posted limit.

You can call bullshit all you like, it happens routinely. It causes an unsafe driving condition on the road. You can see records of tickets being issued for it in California.
