Below you'll find the speeds, locations, and vehicles involved in the twenty fastest speeding tickets in Texas in 2017. You'll see that almost three-fourths of the speeders were riding sportbikes (which some troopers knew enough about to list specific models), while the rest were rocking the kind of American muscle you always imagine screaming down a dusty Texas highway into the sunset—except for one intrepid soul in a BMW i8. No Harley products made this list.
