Too much of a gap 110 to 140. I picked the lower, even if the higher was closer. I'm modest.

I've topped out every bike I've owned at least once. Going on speedometer, have no idea how fast I was really going.   CBR1000F, Valkyrie, 919, ST1100, VFR800, SV1000 were the fastest, all indicated 140 mph - 165mph. The Valk probably felt the most stable, but the wind blast was killer (no shield). The 919 was definately the scarriest, really light bike with no wind protection whatsoever.

regularly: 80

top I've gotten to: 95 might have gone faster but the highways around here aren't known for their great surface condition

Not me, but a guy I know, that just happens to ride the exact same 2 bikes as me...

Crest a ton on the kawi 650 on long on ramps or the occassional open country road.
Sees 113 on the GPS on the BMW K1200RS, just 'cause it's a 'neat' number.

That's what the guy (again, not me) swears to me, anyway.

Who else opens it up?

My wife and I have a rule that we have to hit triple digits every time we take a bike out. I usually just hit 100, but she goes for 130+ with her R1 and GSXR. The most I recall going is 150-155, and my wife has been upwards of 180+, but only 165 since her wreck in 2003. The Harley and 1987 Ducati Paso 750 are the two exceptions to the triple-digit-rule.

Glad the wreck finally slowed her down. Bigsmile Lol

Regularly?  Not much over 100.  Acceleration is fun, top speed runs aren't fun on public roads.  Having said that, the 'Liner runs out of steam around 120 - 125, and the FZ1 has seen 140+ once or twice, but I don't know how much more it's got.

On the highways I cruise at 80, sometimes 90

Top speed I seen on my Trophy with bags was 145.

I simply stated I don't think 53% of riders here break 100mph regularly and called BS. Some folks seem to have taken exception to that. I've been around the intraweb long enough to see the difference between claims versus real life. That doesn't mean that there isn't a percentage of riders that do, I'm sure there is. If you (the collective) want to believe that 53% of riders here break 100mph on a regular basis be my guest.  

I heard a stock FZ1 will to 175mph, and it must be true, I saw it in print on the internet.  Lmao


My old FZ1 topped out well before 175...although it had the touring screen and topcase on at the time...

Daytona's seen 130 a couple times, but I usually run 80-85 on the touring trips.  My GS?  Not so much.  110ish tops.  The XR will do 80 for sure and it feels like guiding a wet noodle at that speed.   Crazy

On my last bike, a vulcan 500, it would start losing power around 90 and 105 mph was my best (down hill, tail wind, etc.).  On my newer bike, 97 vmax, I hit 135mph once or twice.  It still had more but I chickened out.  Besides, the older vmax is known for a notorious death tank slapper high speed vibration if the steering head bearings aren't adjusted just right.  I was trying to be careful to diagnose.  Well, maybe not that careful......!!
