I use to have a 2003 Yamaha R6 and that thing was FAST! I think the top speed I got on that thing was around 150 mph (to scared to look down at the speedo at those speeds) and when I would ride on the highway or interstates it was impossible to go the speed limit (and I tried) It would feel like you are walking so before you know it you are cruising at 100-110. Now that I have a Street Bob I am completely comfortable going the speed limit, and I think the top speed I have had her up to is only 85ish. It's probably a good thing I have this bike now, probably extended my life expectancy a little

 

110 and climbing.... then I backed off. I do get near a buck pretty often but that's USUALLY when common sense kicks in

 

I've hit 120 a few times on mine... still haven't found the rev limiter in 5th but I would imagine it's pretty close since I don't have the stage 1 download or a pc3. At a buck 20 she's screamin.

 

I only go as fast as my guardian angel can fly and I think she has flown to about 120 or so on my Street Bob and i think 110 or 115 on my 82 FXR...Other then that she is pretty comfortable just cruising with me at regular speeds

 

I’ve taken it up to 100mph and while it was pretty steady – it sure seemed like the slightest anything could have veered me off the road. I may take it up to around 110mph one of these days, but I don’t think I’d have the ***** to go any faster.

 

Well I hit 100 in third and by the time I was in fifth, the needle was buried. Since the speedo maxes out at 120 MPH I suppose it was faster than that.

around 140, hard to tell with all the wind

 

110 on the Nightster ... the new Fat Bob hasn't been pushed yet, but getting there, 85 or 90 so far

 

nig, I don't know the answer.

may go up to Goliad next time for the mile.

Quarter mile, stock 006 gearing, just shifting into 4th at the end at 114 mph.

Interstate flight, bury the speedo above 120 with ease.

May wire in the SERT for data collection and record above 120...
one of these daze....

mud.....
