Saw just over 110 (indicated) on a SB demo bike before I came to my senses. I've recently run in my new Bob and have taken it to 95ish - it's still pulling strongly at this speed. I bet there's another 15-20 mph left in it, but you're not in the most conducive riding position to really check it out.

flat out top speed.....well with the 6th gear, it is hard to hit the limiter. At times theflow on I-5 is 95 mph, so I have had mine over 100 a few time, and she never showed a sign she was even close to topping out. I have been rideing for 25 years, and it goes faster than I need to go..... I am more into acceleration than top speed though......and thats one reasonI have the Sporty. I am also into leaning her over through some twisties.....another reason I kept the Sporty!

I always chicken out just before I hit 100. The bike is willing but I ain't. I'm not too concerned with top speed either, just don't like to take all day to get to crusing speed.

I had mine at an indicated 120 several weeks ago in neutral conditions. Solid as a rock with some throttle left.

I don't usually blast up to those speeds but some sport riding squid in my group chuckled about my speedometer and mentioned the bike would not break 100 MPH. I had to educate him a bit.
