Don't know about "average", but you should be able to run the deuce all day
at 2,500-2.600 rpm, which translates into about 55 mph for 900 tires and 60
mph for 1100's. I have driven my deuce at 60 plus for hours on end (11.00-20
NDCC tires). I think the multifuel likes to be driven hard. :-)
Convoy speed has been about 45-50 mph in my experience.
