Welcome to the forum. Who cares? I'd suggest you buy one and report back. Or buy a Hyabusa if you're that interested in raw speed. Silly to buy any Harley for that.

Its a harley tune from the 50s maybe?

Buying a harley to go fast is like buying a screwdriver to hammer a nail in... it can do it but it takes forever. If you like speed you can either buy a bike meant for it, or spend probably twice what a sport bike cost just so you can outrun a prius. Up to you.

And make sure you dont redline it... dont want it to start sumping and blow up.

If you're looking to win races and raw performance, you walked into the wrong dealership. I took my 2012 Street Glide with Stage 1 up to 115 mph once. Once. It still had some more to give, but I backed off. Harleys are not engineered, and owners (most anyway) don't expect them to thrive in the top speed, or canyon carving arenas.
