I've had mine up to 100 and it had a little left in it. Shhh don't tell anyone though
Mine is stock except for the SE air cleaner and the SEII slip ons.

95mph, felt like there was still some left but was running out of reasonable road! Pretty windy up there, but a real blast. Guess I have some work to do to catch up with you 100+ brothers. Plan on a NJ to MD run this weekend; maybe then...

I've had my '06 883 up to slightly over 90. Bike was running fine, seemed that she probably had another 10 - 15 mph in her.

'06 883L Stock except for cycle shack slipons.

Now you guys have me wondering.

I've only hit 85 on my '04 883 but that was because I felt like the bike was already stressing. Now that I see these posts, I would like to see her get to at least 100 so that I know she can.... safely of course.

Not sure how accurate the stock speedo is, but my 00 883 with exhaust and SE ac hit 112. My buddies 04 883 with drilled baffles has hit 108.

Got 85 before I had to slow down, too much cross wind.

I've had my stock '05 XL883L up to 100 once on a great straight away. Don't know if she could've gone any faster, got to chicken to push her more :O) I usually run around 70 (unless passing those darn semi's) on the highway with no problems though.
