Had mine 90-95 mph onceriding out of Wash D.C. on I-95 heading south. That was just keeping up with traffic.

If gone any slower I'd been run over, if gone any faster it would have became not only speeding but wreckless.

Have not even wanted to push over 100 in these parts its just not safe on the roads as it is.

She has seen 75 to 85 with out even knowing it shifting into 5th.

I'm that she will go over 100 with no problem if the need ever arose.

Batwing on my Electra Classic starts to fly on it's own at 90.

my fastest by the speedometer out in the middle of no place wyoming with no other traffic on the road was 115 and it was still creeping up a little.
that was in early 2006 06 EGC stage one and samson slip ons.

Anything over 90 on my 08SG and it feels like Muhammid Ali is steering.

Had my bagger lite up to 334049.15 furlongs/fortnite for a few minutes the other day; felt a lot like 125mph did when I was in the USA this summer.....missed the "Speed Limit 165000 Furlongs/Fortnite" signs down there though; they would have to be pretty big.....

Mine has seen over 90, but I can't be 100% sure how fast it really was due to the **** swirling around behind the batwing and burning my eyes. Good thing I was likker'd up when I did it or I'd a shat my britches as well...

I'll stick to the speed limit + 5 as a max...

Indicated speed was 110 mph bone stock on my 07 EGC. It likes to cruise at an indicated 75-80 as the rpms stay in the +3500range at that speed.

+120 mph on my 06 Fz6

I had my Night Train over 100 a few times. She ran fine and had more to give.
