We were in Oregon, had just come out of a roadside rest stop, I am on a 2014 FLHX my son on his 2012 FLTRU.
The drag race was on, we hit 100-MPH side by side at 110 I had him by a good 4 or 5 inches. He is 60 pounds
lighter than me, his header pipe was de-catted but all stock Bike, my Bike was all stock at the time. "Good Fun"
I set the cruise on 90 yesterday...and stayed there for over an hour. A big chunk of I-15 here in Southern Utah is 80mph speed limit and unless you are going 90, they will run over you. It was turning about 3500 rpm and was so stable it was unreal. The new Rushmore will run with the big boys...NO PROBLEM. It's no Hyabusa, don't get me wrong, but you could HONESTLY run 90-100 as long as you want.
But could you imagine how wore out you would be running those speeds on a road trip on the Busa!
100+. I know if you are in the 75+mph range fuel mileage really takes a nosedive. Not what you want for touring however fun as hell for short bursts. I will have to lean out my bike a little at cruising rpm's but make it fat for acceleration. 2014 Ltd
