Not looking at the speedometer but having a GPS strapped to my hayabusa 193mph [sm=happybounce.gif]and on my Harley no GPS but looking at the speedometer it showed 110 so maybe it was more like 98-100 mph very steady but not aerodynamic enough...[sm=biker.gif]

I was coming home from a concert with the wife on the back with a buddy was next to me on a Fatboy 2 up and we were going about 90 - 110 for about an hours to make up time. Bike was solid. It had more left in it, just didn't want to push it in the dark 2 up...

On my Road King, whatever the posted speed limit is at that time.
Recently on the BMW K1200RS, I was concentrating on the road too much to look down at the speedo.
Harleys are not really built for high speeds. I just enjoy cruising.

115 on my 08 RG and it was smooth as glass, coulda gone faster but ran outta road, it is still bone stock so needs a good stretch to get up to that speed. No problem, I canfix that! 
On my 01, I cruised for about a twenty mile stretch at 110+ one time out in Montana on a really long straight, flat road (hwy 12 I think it was..). That was pretty cool, I was two up and loaded down heavy!
