I've hit 180 a couple of times (KPH that is, sounds better than MPH) works out to 111MPH, I ran out of ***** before the machine did.
Crouched down with the drag bars and my feet on the passenger pegs I'm not cutting much wind.

Speedo showed 110 Tuesday night leaving bike night riding 2-up.......The GF wanted to go fast, so I let it eat for a little.....
Still had plenty to go. We regularly break the ton mark.

155 mph in 3rd holy ****. I can't imagine what it like going 250 mph in 6th.

I assume that you are being a smart ***. The stock R1 goes 100 in first. If you don't believe me look it up or ride one, dick.

Just demo'd at the dealer. They had four bikes out for demo: a Nighster, Fat Bob, Cross Bones, and a Street Glide.
Got all up to 100 except the Street Glide. It probably could have with more road, but I had to turn.
The Fat Bob got there pretty easily. It did 85 in 3rd. And smoooove.......Not nearly as "flickable" as my Sporty, but quicker and faster to be sure.
