Had my 95 Fatboy doing "n" MPH. Not sure how fast that is but the speedo stops at 120 and I was on the "n" in the Harley Davidson Motor Co. logo at the bottom. Now my 09 Road Glide wont go over 115 no matter how hard I twist the throttle. Of Course the Fatboy has a 125 CI Revtech in it and the Road Glide is bone stock.

I've gone 90 on my RK on a few occasions. It felt planted and stable. The first time it happened, it caught me by surprise. I don't think it will do "n".

I've hit 100 mph 2 up and the bike was very smooth and stable. Felt like it was still pulling pretty hard, but really no need for me to find out how fast it will go.

Had my SG up to 95, pretty smooth ride too. Had my 1800VTX up to 132 chasing a friend of mine on a crotch rocket. Scarey but smooth as well.

I like to cruise 65-70...Have taken it to 90 and there was more to go. Just don't have the desire to go much faster. I have a08 StreetGlide with V&H dresser duals, monster ovals and PC-V.

On a Harley...115 on the V-rod. On a motorcycle...150 on a Ninja and the eyes were watering with a full face helmet on!
