Default Full throttle.

So guys and girls, I would really like to know what your guys top end speed has been with the Milwaukee 8 107 motor. Now I know some of you guys and girls are going to say well I didn’t buy a bike like a Harley Davidson for top and speed. I’m not really concerned about those comments all I’m asking is how fast have you actually had this baby going. I do like top end speed. 135 mph is as fast as I’ve ever gone. But I’m wondering if this bike has 120 in it.

They are software limited at 115 MPH, I think. I've had mine up to 105-110 a few times (on a closed course, of course).

Correction: seems to be limited at 120 MPH...

Well that’s a shame. Do you think they let him run wide open.

If you want the best ride up to the speed limiter, use 5th gear.

To me that fast enough. Especially if it’s nice and smooth. Everything balanced out. Mine doesn’t have any mods on it. 120 would be sweet.
