I've had mine to 100 mph & that was fast enough for me. 80 mph, all day long smooth as silk with the exception of the roads themselves!

some miles at steady 75, not much at 80 but she just purred...
the cams made a really big difference from 60 up in sixth..

I'm at a lost to why someone has the urge to exceed the speed limit as much as they say. That's reckless driving in VA. Drive what society has made a law to do and enjoy you bike. Driving reckless is killing innocent people. At 100mph on a public highway makes you a terrorist with a 700+ pound hand held missile. Grow up.

Just my opinion but I live it.

Around here in NorCal, the speed limit might be 65, but thats a laugh. If you're not doing 75 they're goin over the top of you (and thats the slow lane)
I run my 88/5sp btwn 70 & 80 all day. Vibes are minimal. Not as smooth as a tourer, but pretty smooth (just the previously mentioned handlebar buzz- comes in around 72-74 mph, but goes away just above 75)
I do prefer back roads, but all but one, Ya have to take freeways to get to.
