180K/H * 4.97 Furlongs/K * 0.00298 Hours/Fortnight= 2.67 Furlongs/Fortnight.
I've had my bike up past 2.5 Furlongs/Fortnight, or to put that into a more used dimension, say,1660 Smoot/Minute.
Just trying to help out.

Kph has about as much meaning to me as furlongs per fortnight.

I ran 180kph 3 days ago, It took some time and road to get there.Top usable speed is maybe 150kph the rest is an after thought.

Fastest I've ever gone? 85. Don't like going that fast at all.

I've had my ultra and road king both floored and rev limiter kicked in and i couldnt get either of them faster than probably 110 maybe 115
My GSXR-1000 - i had the speedo pinned at 210
I had a hyabusa, my gsxr-1000 is faster
My Ford Excursion - rev limiter at about 100 maybe 110, but surely that big desil had ALOT left in it

Fastest for me on an HD (used to race onYammerhammersand Kawis) was a tad over 156 on a buddys old fuelie dragster back in theearly 70s. It was a real hoot to ride that HD too - 6 inch M&H - woah - LOTs of smoke.
Fastest on my '07 FLHR is only around 90/95. Not bad for an old fart on a mainly stocker though.

on the harley 105 and never again.....what a piece of s.....at hi speed and what a lousy feeling of "i will die today "
but great at up to 90 or so.i love this bike but i know its limitations .
