80+ mph. I say + because I backed off the throttle at 80.

I usually drive 150+ km/h on the highway. Limit is 130 and I pass others without problems.

I recently rode to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia on mine. My top speed was 85 when I was passing a small convoy of trucks. It felt stressed, but not exactly at its limit.

Yeah that sounds about right, similar to what everyone else is saying. I have achieved about 140 indicated on mine but not on 100% throttle.

At that speed you can't enjoy the Bud Lite cans and Mt Dews along the roadside!
Gotta slow down and take in the wonders....
