RE: top speed
+1 with Citoriplus. Secondly, only ONE time have I "pushed" my new bike and it was 90mph in 5th. I don't dig speed at all, but my bud's 88" went around me one day, so I took it back. I was just being a Richard Craneum.

I got my stock 07 deluxe up to 115mph in 6th. It didn't feel wound out but it wouldn't pull anymore either (the road was slightly upgrade). I think it might actually have a higher top speed in 5th gear I'll have to investigate it some time when I find a straight stretch of highway with no traffic.

RE: top speed
I know its not the same year, but my 07 heritage classic will over 100 mph completely stock. It will go faster,but it takes a long time to get there after about 90/95. must be time to bump it up 110 inches!!!

RE: top speed
I have a mate which got his 07 dyna up to bout 80mph last October and was pretty pleased ... he then discovered that the bike had a 5th and 6th gear . True story. his first ever bike and I keep the hell away from him when we ride ( he finds it difficult making right hand turns but that is another story ! )

RE: top speed
I've hit 100 twice now, first time was after I passed the 1000 mile mark(sure was hard to wait that long). Shifted out of 4th at 90 and thought I was really doing something until my friend on his M109R blew by me like I was sitting still. Don't know what top speed would be, figured about 130 would be realistic though. Even though my friends bike is considerably faster, I get more looks and compliments on my bike whenever we stop somewhere(I love that part).

Done 145 on a Buell. Wind at my back helped. Been upwards of 110 on the Low Rider I had. EVO 80 stage one. Haven't tried it with the softail. Been close to 100.

. It's not the top speed of sportbikes that I miss but the brakes. I spent the first 3 months that I switched to the Roadstar praying that I would stop : )
