You guys obviously didn't buy a motorcycle for the reason Harley made them.
Fun thread. Even though I have a road king I hope you don't mind me chiming in.
Max speed so far on my RK is 80 ish. I got it only a month ago and want to make sure all bearings are greased and tight before I go too fast or take it down the drag strip.
I agree however with the poster above....I didn't buy my Harley for top speed runs..... but I know I'll end up trying.
I do enjoy racing my Vette on the other hand...2.59 0-60 on the track, 10.81@128...185 top speed in the Miami closed airport event, limited by my 4.10 gears.

its funny I see some guys say there bike starts to get unstable over 100. my bike seemed to have sucked down to the ground and dug in like it wanted to go faster just an observation
2011 SG sotck 103 tuned with PV basic... V&H powerduals with Oval slip ons... 6th gear... gps clocked 168.......... thats Kmh..... smooth and straight but i tell u... talk about tunnel vision... did once with tour pak but wont do again... gets to wobbly !!...
clocked 158Kmh with tour pak... i think there must be a speed cut off though... had RPM limit set for 6K RPM... not sure if extra 300-400RPM would pull more...
i can say - its a rush... i can say its maybe stupid.. but i can say --- i pushed the limit !!!
