I am NOT a speed demon but I have had the red mistress over 90 before. It didnt feel like it was going to stop gaining in speed.

If you ignore all the "real world" factors like, rider weight, drag, head winds, etc, an 883 with stock gearing, in 5th gear, would hit the 6200 RPM rev limiter at about 110 mph.

Definitely an ***... Who joins a forum just to bash people in a thread that is over a year old...

On another note, since I've added the pipes, air cleaner, and Power Commander the bike tops out somewheres near 110 with my now 280 LB. body on it.

Sorry to interupt, but I believe it's 103 mph on a stock bone.
