Admit it. Top speed regurlay seen on your bike,

[Blunder]

Pussies.

I saw the opportunity and I took it. Both meters pegged. Didn't have time to take a pic.

There is a strange calm...

[Heath3n]

So...  53% of of the respondants see 100+ mph Regularly?
Either a lot of folks have an unusual interpretation of the word regularly or this thread has brought out an unusual amount of internet bravado. .  

You're kidding right? Look at the bikes these people have...most will reach 100mph in less than 7 seconds.  Hell, my ZZR1200 would break 100mph as soon as I hit 3rd gear. No bravado here...it's just freaking fun. If you got the juice...you might as well have fun with it. It doesn't take THAT long of a stretch of road to get up to that speed and back down again. I'm more shocked by the people that have never seen a ton versus the ones that have.

[Brian Hudson]

Does the track count? I see 155 indicated on the front straight, every lap.

There's a good road around here that I've seen 178 on.

[Shaggy-R6]

Regularly I cruise at 130 - 140 on the highway... but I do that in my car too, so not a big deal.

Highest I've seen is 273 with a tail wind.

Is it thin skin or lack or a reading comprehension issue?   The question was about top speed seen regularly.  I simply stated what to me appears obvious based on the percentage of respondants that stated they broke the ton regularly.   That doesn't mean I'm saying YOU don't break the ton regularly.

As an ex-track-day junkie and general motorcycle enthusiast I'm fairly aware of what these bikes can do. Breaking the ton on almost any bike is a breeze and I have no doubt that some people break the ton regularly (I'd define regularly as at least once a week), but over 50%? Nope, I don't think so.  

I've broken the ton on almost every street bike I've owned. The exception being an old 750 with a big windjammer fairing and my DR-Z. I tried really hard on the DR-Z on a long downhill straight once but the best I could muster was 91mph on the GPS as I recall.  Maybe I'm just slow, or unlucky. My license is in constant peril with the state DMV and as I said previously, I rarely break the ton on the street.

[fastfreddy]

one time I cruised for almost an hour at over 100, top speed 108. At that speed I start wondering if I could get stopped if a wheel bearing froze up, which is stupid cause it's only happened to me once in 35 years of riding.

[scottzilla]

That's all I cound get on the Speedy.  Everything has to be perfect for a man of my size to go any faster.

On the XX, i've taken it "All the way" numerous times.

I pretty much do a top speed run weekly April-October.

  That's what I'm talking about!

[Dark Knight]

I usually stay around 70-85 on the highways but recently have seen 135 or so on the AC expressway with the FJR and she had plenty of twist left.

Went for a ride last night, saw a little over 100 a couple times, pretty "regular" ride for me

Not sure why you felt the need to insult me, but that's a pretty asshat response.  Regular and Normal will vary from person to person. To me, regular is 3-4 times a week. I have no trouble believing that many people break the ton on a regular basis..like I said, I'm surprised its not more.  

[black hills]

+1 I find it easy to do and fairly regular

I'm pretty sure I'm an amazingly average guy

[Zerosum]

On my V-Strom, 90 is about it.  The wind starts beating the crap out of me and it's no fun past that.  

On my VFR, I took it to about 115 once or twice.  Usually I keep that at 90 or below well.   I don't see the point in going faster.  

 Gettin old, I guess.

[sguanche]

Last weekend I took the FZ 1 over 150 with all the GIVI bags down an empty stretch of road, gear and GIVI wind screen...thanks to my new steering damper! Stripped down with the OEM screen and sans the bags it tops out at 165.

Yeah it was a pretty asshat response, it wasn't just you that thought so.  Regularly means often, no internet bravado necessary.  I break the ton every single time I ride, unless I'm just moving it from the alley to the front before a ride.  I can hit 100 before reaching the bottom of an expressway entrance ramp.  On some of the expressways around here the cruising speed, as long as Johnny Revenue Collector (formerly known as Johnny LawMan) isn't around, is 85.  That means if I want to merge, or change lanes, or pass someone, I'll need to hit 95 to 100 if there is more than one car involved in the pass.  No thin skin, no lack of reading comprehension.  Windblown, start a new poll if you want to know what regularly means to each person, but I can fully believe this poll is correct.  Hell, during my last bike trip to California, we rolled along doing well over the ton ALL FRIGGEN DAY, from Illinois, through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and half of South Dakota LOL!

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.

Windblown, there have only been 158 voters in this poll so far.  How many thousand members does this site have?  I think at least a few hundred more active posters.  So that number in total is just a small subset of the total population here, and of that small subset, an even smaller subset say they break the ton regularly.  Why is that so hard to believe?  Out of 2000+ people, 158 voted, and out of 158, maybe 100 of them say they do the ton regularly.  I can believe those numbers.

I find it rather easy to believe. I have yet to ride with anyone on a sportbike (or sport-touring bike) that didn't exceed 100 mph when the oportunity presented itself? Maybe the people you ride with are different?

[Zixxerpilot]

Regularly seen? About 100. However, there are certain areas I'll open her up.

Top speed ever seen on this bike? GPS recorded 189mph. Ever on any bike? Over 200...
