    160 on the Sporty since the 1200 big bore and TMAX went in, was pretty stable at that speed and had plenty of throttle left but I'm not game enough to go any faster.

    Had the other half on the back of the Road King and was doing 140km/hr, steady as a rock, and then backed off as an intersection was coming up.

    Iv'e wizzed my Sportster up to 210 with easy a few times and still has more to go, I remember the fist time I took it up that high I was in 4th gear and didn't realize, Sounds like some of you guys need to grow some balls

    When riding one up, I got up to 165, got scared and backed off.

    With missus in the back I never go over the speed limit as I can't stand intense pain in between my shoulder blades.

    Heard a rumour that my 08 Softail was 'limited' to 180, and guess what 180 in 4th, 180 in 5th, and 180 in 6th.

    about 180 but was wearing the open face and it was lifting right off my head like Peter. Dunno why but it seems to generate lift at high speed and the chinstrap chokes me.

    hey guys, been a long time between posts but just saw this and had to add.... had my bob at @180 when running stock. biggest problem was it took so long to build up to that speed, with forward cont's and hands up I was just one big wind sock and couldn't even look down to see just what I was doing, keeping my feet on was another story again... now have breathing mods (in and out) done am keen to try again... will let youse know......
