90MPH back in 1969 on a 1967 250 Harley Sprint. The bike never run good after that. I think I injured it.

before I stroked my motor my bike would top out at about 108, since my engine build I've had it up to 134 , not sure what top end is now, when it was dyno they said top should be about 147, not sure how they know that, I have Dakota Digital gauges so I know I hit 134, before them it would just hang at 110 when I was on it hard

I've seen enough road kill on the side of the road to realize I don't want to explore how fast my bike will go.

I don't want to join them.

110 in my glide, 196 on a Hayabusa with GPS read, was trying to hit 200 but never did it. It is fast i do know that, reason i dont have a busa anymore, i love to go fast and that is the bike to do it. Speedo moves faster than the tach, 90 in first gear is no joke!

153mph in my old Camaro, 2 more mph i would of buried the needle, still pulling a bit 4th (A4) probably could of did 160 but scary as ****, and running out of clear road. Not a Harley but felt, drove, and smelled like one.

110 on my Ultra. No need to do it again. 80 on the interstate is plenty enough. I ride to enjoy not to see how fast I can get there. I must be gettin' old!
