once had a kaw 1000R tricked in 1985. Took a ride on a back road at 225. I sold it the next week, to stupid to slow down. I will stick with my Dyna 100 feels fast.

Check out the Streetglide at 134. Thats an official mile time.

These are real speeds not the bs that so many post. But it takes less skill and money to lie about going fast than actually proving it.

I thought to fast was sex on the first date. Speed kills or is it the sudden stop at the end!

I said oh, is it hard to hold on to when cranking the throttle. He shows me a emergency cable he clips to himself like a jetski has, so if he falls it shuts the bike off. We shook hands and went our own ways.

What a difference of 25years of age makes when you ride.
Safe riding to all

Well you know that the CBR and Ninja's is Japan's way of getting back at us "Round Eyes" one at a time for what we did with the A bombs.

Too fast is when you beat the ambulance to the crash by 30 minutes or more.

I'll cruise 80-85 all day on the open toll roads and I love going 0-that 85 as fast as possible, but that is where I get my rush, not in the top end. I can see the thrill of speed, but that's not my thrill, I get my thrill from acceleration.

Then your riding the wrong brand of motorcycle..................LOL

As some of the others had said, I like to go fast in quick bursts red light to red light. With that said, last May I went through my 3rd mid-life crisis and bought a Ducati Diavel (162HP Stock). I rode it for 3 months before realizing I was going to kill myself, top speed I hit was 148 mph. I sold it right after that and bought my 2nd SG and installed a 120R.
