I haven't taken my ride fast yet, probably about 150 kmh (95 mph). In my youth I took a crotch rocket to 240 kmh (150 mph). It's all over very fast at that speed if something bad happens.

I've had Reaper up around 125 mph (for testing purposes only 
), still accelerating hard, and she had lots left. This was before I had the big bore done, but after head work/cams. That was also with apes, and no windshield.
Cheers!

Had my 05 heritage up to 180km/h (112mph) and then had to back off as I was fast approaching the blockade of vehicles ahead of me. It was still speeding up when I had to back down so I guess that I could likely hit 120mph on a emptier highway.

I've had my fatboy up to 110. I think it had more, but it doesn't matter. With 16" apes and no windshield, it's a little scary. That's not why I bought it. I would have gotten a busa if I wanted a fast bike.

My Garmin clocked me at 106, still had more throttle, but being on the 91 backed it off hoping not to get a ticket.

Ive hit a 110 MPH on a great day with no windshield, but thought my head was gonna rip off.maybe I will try one day with my buddies detachable, but my neck was hurting heading up to OCC one day on I-84 cause the wind was so bad at around 85 MPH..
