Had mine up to 95 a couple of times for a brief mile or two. Seemed to have lots of throttle left....

RE: what's the fastest you've gone on a harley?
I've had mine upwards of 180kms but not for very bloody long. long straight stretch no one around. curious if the bike would really climb that high. speedo says 220. after that day most I've had it to is 140 and that's to pass traffic on the freeway.

I couldnt tell yea, I dont have a speedo, but that being said, I have had the throttle bottomed out, but I ordinarily just ride at a comfortable speed. Sometimes thats passing everything in front of me, and sometimes thats letting everyone pass me. it just depends on my mood, and the conditions I guess

This is the only Harley I've owned so far,but I hit 105 a few weeks ago.It felt relatively stable.I just had to hold on tight and tuck my body in.I'm sure it's got more,bit I didn't stay above 85 for long.No need to go that fast.I was just curious like everyone else is.

145 mph, on my '95 sportster, clocked it w/ my gps. That is stupid fast and I only done it once , that was enough for me.

Did a Charity ride at Atlanta Motorspeed Way. They let a few of us who wanted run as fast as we wanted. Did 115 on my old roadking. Would never do that on the road but it was a controlled environment. Those high banked cyrves are a trip on a bike.

I buried my Streebob. The guy behind me said I hit 135MPH.
I regularly ride in the 80-85MPH range but sometimes you have to turn it loose and let it fly. (just not too often)

I've been around 120mph on several sportbikes in the past. Too fast!
I've only had Harley's go up to around 110mph and nothing more. No more throttle remained, but the engine was not redlined either.
I have ridden 75-80mph steady on freeways for hours. Not bad and is not too fast. Anything faster than 80mph on a Batwing Electra Glide.....is not very fun. It can be a bear to keep it going straight.
