RE: Triple digit club?
Well as for my glide - - I hit 112, and then remembered ****!! I'm in the US....this is Jail time if caught!
I lived in Germany for 10 years - where euro spec bikes and cars usually just seem to idle at 160 KPH (100mph) - - they are normally zipping by at 140 mph, so we'd be run off, even in the right lane....I'd like to see a stock harley that could keep up on the Autobahn at speeds compatable with the others on the road..for long periods -- would that be the Screamin Eagle V-Rod? -

RE: Triple digit club?
put the EG into triple digits one time this summer. I can say it has been done.
The Kawi runs triple digits on a regular basis, so I don't feel the need to abuse the EG by running it at much more than 85. I have a porsche and an explorer... I don't take the porsche 4 wheeling, and I don't take the explorer around corners at 80

My buddy was on his stock 05' Ultra and I was on my 05" RK Classic going south on I-15 towards San Diego. We were side by side, no traffic, and when I looked at my speedo we were doing 115 mph. I still had some throttle left.

had my 03 Ultra at 120 on the toll road and still had some left, 95", SE heads, 203 cam, and SERT tuned.
Havent tryed the RK yet, but I'm sure she'll do it.
