After I broke my bike in I took it out to see what it could do around 113mph top end my ride into work has a srtech of highway about 8 miles very flat and straight perfect place to do this. I have to admit it was fun.

I've had my RK up to about 95 a few times. Mostly just to see how it'd feel. I usually cruise around 70-75 on the interstate.

With an R1 who needs to go fast on a Harley? Wow!! Impressive bike lineup!! Been up to 70 and that was just to make sure the 6th gear light lit up! I wanted to make sure of that AND to make sure I was still able to pull back in my driveway at home! I wish you good luck in burying that needle my friend!

Been over 120 on my FXR multiple times over the years.

Fastest I had the FLHT to yet was 100 on the speedo,that was about 3 weeks ago.

My max speed has been just south of Warp 1 but I really don't like to run my RKC much over 75 if possible.

Thats plenty fast, and just kept the bike at that speed
for a minute or so.

115 on a RK, my SG 105 so far, I usually ride the twisty route and am not in a hurry. The road king actually felt great felt like it hunkered down and wanted to run.. Had an M109 Last year hit 135 on it but with forward controls felt like a parachute looked down and my right foot was lifted off the peg by a foot.

Cruised for about 10 miles at around 110mph. One of my friends, back in Nebraska, has an arborists service with a big empty warehouse he stores equipment in. We'd got together there with a few buddies for an impromtu spring fever jam session (some of the guys are in a band and store their amps and sound boards out there too) and bike tune up and wash last April. Afterwards we all went for a ride out on the freeway to blow the winter cob webs out. My cheap mini speedo on my sporty was doing the bouncing thingbetween 100 and 120, so I couldn't tell exactly how fast we were going. But the guy who owns the warehouse said he settled in at about 110 once we got going. It must of been an interesting site to see about 10 bikes fly past your cage single file while driving little Johnny to his soccer game. Normally I like to keep it close to the speed limit though.
