Im in Guatemala, the model is a 1982. Really! at 55mph a full tank would only get me 40 or 50 miles That's kindof alarming

Hi, I am thinking about buying this motorcycle I have found used for a good price. It's in good condition, very well maintained. My concern is the cruising speed. I intend to use it for longish trips. I need something that I can cruise at 90kph (55mph) for several hours without issue. Someone told me that at these speeds with this bike I would need to stop every hour or so and let the engine cool. (I do live in a warm weather zone) So I guess it's two questions really, firstly what is the top speed can you comfortably cruise for longer distances on one of these bikes, and how big of an issue is overheating? PS: I suppose I could also gear up and put in a smaller rear sprocket
