hello out there! hope all of you are doin good. seen a lot of nice bikes on the site, hope to get some pictures of my ironhead on here soon. just wanted to know bout how fast have any of you had your bikes up to. i enjoy the slow ride, but sometimes ya gotta get the carbon out! always on clear straigtaways though, a lot of them in eastern washington! take care and hope to hear from you all!

 

Current ride, '87 FLST, about 110 mph, and that was with windshield & passenger.

'78 FLH, about 115 mph.

'72 XLCH, 77" stroker, about 135 - 140 mph.

Now that I'm older I hate when my face gets pushed to back around my ears, flapping like crazy, so I don't much travel that fast!

 

for me on the 05 sporty it has been 70...weird though since I don't get it up to that speed very often, it felt like I needed another gear...and there aren't too many opps around Issaquah/Bellvue/Renton to do that. But am planning to get out to Eastern Wash, especially around the Moses Lake/SoapLake backroad areas where that would be a good thing to do!

 

Thus far I have been up to 90mph on my 04 883C.

 

85 mph on my 92 Sporty.

 

too fast to fall!

 

when i cruise to work i usually cruise at about 80-85 mph. have had it faster on bursts.

 

Had my old Ironhead up to 90mph so far. Probably would go a lot faster but why would you want to LOL?

 

Just to let you know a 1200 sportster will reach speeds of approximately 125mph.

 

on my 96 1200 i had it at 103, and it had plenty to go.
