Bone stock, up to 105 with my girlfriend on back, She wanted to see what a "ton" felt like. After she became my wife, I took her up to 110, before she started slapping me and yelling she was going to kick my $#%@ss. Still had throtle left. I may have gotten her up to 115, but it's way scary when you start hitting those speeds with a windsheild buffeting around.
Cheers

Nothing like a "250" Shot!

Oh, Better keep you legs clear and add some 1/4" steel under the tank and seat

Lets see, if horsepower requirements go up with the Cube of speed the tourer would need about 300 HP to reach 181 MPH. that would be one heck of a lot of the juice.

I was playing with the GPS over the weekend and noticed this and thought of this thread

Now I only use the GPS on the tourer (all my cars are governed to 108anyhow), so clearly black and cream is the fastest. You just have to tuck in behind the windsheild.

Three different top ends in three different configs.

All jettet for modified exhaust & K&N filter.

Running V&H I hit 105+ but was very loud.

Running Jardines I hit 96-98, a little quieter but blued the pipe.

Running stock I hit 85-90.

Mine is modifed K&N, Jet Kit, Vance and Hines, 117mph was mine but I work at a montorcycle shop and have been told by several manufactures reps that the speedo on motorcycle is off somewhat over 100 he says it can be as high as 10% so my 117 was like maybe 100 but he says all bike vary, my buddie has the same year and all, the same exhaust and my dyno says mine has 5 HP more then his. lol he was so mad. Just some input

Kingfish,

How long since you replaced the fuel filter?? You might be starving the motor at higher speeds, but it would still run good at lower speeds.

I rode a KZ1000 to near 140 MPH. I was street racing a Corvette. I got the jump, but he stayed within 2-4 car lengths up to about 120 when I started pulling away. I ran it up to approx. 140 (sitting upright, no windshield) where it seemed to cap. I'm sure it would have added 10-20 MPH if I had tucked in good.

kingfish.....sorry to hear about the hospital stay. Been there and done that too. A couple of times. It sounds though like your enjoying your riding at your own pace. And what more could anyone ask but that! Take er easy though. We'd all like to see you sticking around awhile.

I suppose something is amiss in the carb(varnish,jetting,sync) or timing(no timing in high gears)---I am not going to mess with it as it runs beautifully and gets 40mpg. It is my car,truck and transportation as i own no cars and havent for years--evr since my MI--I ride and love all bikes and until the past year rode performance bikes IE: ZX6R,ZX9R,Ducatis,B12,F2,3 Buells etc-------------there really isnt much to see at 165mph---------And after a hospital stay the past year i found i had lost...

I had a 98 T with 30k miles on her. I regularly did 85 - 90 mph to keep up with my pack. And it had no problem doing over 100. I had it up to 102 - 105 quite a few times passing. It felt like it could do more and maybe did...... I was afraid to take my eyes off the road and look down going that fast.
Really anything above 85 is squirley.

Like several others have mentioned, I seem to chicken out at a particular speed too. My magic speed is about 100 mph whether I am riding a bike or driving a car. The fastest indicated speed I have seen on a bike was 115 mph on Honda's ST1300 sport-tourer that I was demoing. Given Honda's typical speedometer high-side error I probably was going more in the range of 104-106 mph, but I think there is a big difference when you can get to a high speed in a matter of seconds, and also...

Some of you guys are just down right TRAZY (means "Totally crazy"). The fastest that I have ever been on any bike was the 90mph I reached on my new '73 Honda CB350F. It still had throttle left, but I chickened out. I already knew what it felt like going down at only 30 mph on 2 occasions. I don't even want to think about going down at 3 times that speed.

many, many years ago when i was young and stupid i was riding my yamaha 1100 special from k.c. to denver on I-70 out in the middle of nowhere, ks. these two guys in a mercedes convertible pulled up beside me and wanted to race. i started cracking the throttle on the yama and at 130(per the speedo reading)the guys in the mercedes began pounding their fists on the steering wheel...that's all the mercedes had. i still had a little throttle and went on to 140. the speedo on those bikes went...

My 1998 T with over 90K on it runs beautifully BUT, It has a top speed of 85mph!!!!--I have asked my service people about this and the service mgr had one and said his top speed was 86mph.-------I have always assumed that this was normal.---------yesterday i met a guy with a 98 T with 50k on it and he said his ran 115mph!!!!!!!!!!!
