Default What's the Fastest You've Gone on your Harley
I crossed over from the sportbike world just this past year as I no longer had the need for speed. And although I love my Breakout, I find that I'm buying performance mods to make it go faster. However I'm curious to know how fast everyone else has gone on theirs.

Would that be with or without a guy on a BMW with a GoPro behind me?

Which leads to the second question: Solo or 2 up?

Might want to go back to the rice rockets if speeds your thing, harleys aren't about fast. Won't be picking up much ***** at a 100mph.......

The thrill gets them wet though.

And na I don't like going 100+ every time I ride. Just like to have the option to.

I've had my '03 RK showin' 80 on the speedo and it wasn't even breathin' hard...I'm sure it'll probably do 140 with a tailwind.

I dunno...
