Default What's the fastest you rode with your Rushmore

I took my 2015 SGS out for a spin the other day. We have a back country road nearby that is a long straightaway between fields. No woods nearby. I did some tuning runs on that road before with my previous Harley. There is no traffic at all and the danger hitting a deer is pretty much nill. In other words this is the ideal test strip. I opened up the throttle until I hit 110. That was it for me. The bike ran absolutely perfect. No vibration, no wobble, nothing, but a solid run. Not a second of insecurity. By far the best bike I ever had. Wonder, what your fastest speed was you experienced on your bike.

I think I might have hit 85 or so once while passing a line of cars on my '15 Limited.

No drama at all. Not into the speed thang anymore, anyway. That may be as fast as I'll ever go on it.

I too am not into high speeds but the other day I twisted it up to pass a couple of semi's and to get away from a gawker. Let off on the throttle and looked at the speedo and it had just passed 95 so I'd say above 95 She was very stable and I love riding her!! Great machine

105 indicated. Not sure how accurate these speedometers are at that speed. The bike felt stable and seemed like it probably had a little more. I should have added that the bike is 2014 Limited.

115 a couple of times for sure, maybe slightly more. But, regardless of how smooth the bike rode, it was to stupid fast to react to anything, let alone have a catastrophic mechanical failure. I'm sure I'll do it again though. hehehehe.
