I had my 1200 with Stage 1 up to 180 km/hr which works out to about 112 mi/hr. I don't know if I could've gotten a little more out of it...the speed wobble set in and I backed off.

Your speedo was probably also giving you another 3 or so mph...
On my 06 883L I cruise on the e-way regular at 70-80mph. Most out of it with purpose: alittle over a 100mph but, not absolutly sure because of need to keep eyes on the road(wind, vibration, speed, nerve's, etc.). That was with a windshield. I weigh 180#. She'll run. No doubt about it.
