Remember, the speedo may be largely inaccurate up high. Unless you've had a GPS or clocked mile markers, your speed may be wildly wrong.
That said, I've been clocked at 106. By a cop. In a 55. I had it up around 115-120, but my aux ports weren't working, so I was running out of power.

I'd been in the 13x's in my old 87 Sport readng the stock speedo. In the S5 GTU I have yet to try anything that high, only a third gear run for wideband logging.

N. Californian's might know the Highway 37 "blood alley" road. My CHP buddies Sunday morn, early, clocked me at 138. 1990 FC3C, top down, speedo said 145, almost redline in 4th. 5th is great downhill with a breeze.
And no ticket, I'm buddies with quiet a few of the local law enforcement "gents". Good to have friends in low places.

ive been at 165 (maxed). The bike behind me said he was doing a buck 70, but people lie, and so do speedometers.
My guess from just reading that our speedometers read a bit fast at higher speeds was that i did 160......fast enough to scare the **** outta me and the guy riding shotgun.

I was on I-95 in Georgia coming back to Florida and ran 120 mph for about 30 miles right! behind a trucker who was really trying to make up some time..... figured the cops would get him, not me, 18 wheeler a little easier to see than a little 88 GXL.... lol

Jeez, you people need to find safer places to do these top speed runs....
But anyway, on an airport runway I've burried the needle, big fat turbos help
