130 is about all my 2.5l will do.

My 3.0 felt like it for sure had alot more in it...I'd say 140-150 easy but not so sure I'd want to go much faster than 130![&:]

What's the fastest you've gone in the Crotch Rocket? I'd love to take the Jag faster, I just haven't found the opportunity or place!

196mph on my heavily modded 02 R1. The 06 Gixxer 750 is only good for about 172mph.

Your probably asking your self where I could do such a great speed? Well I know a road that has fresh smooth pavement with nothing but Orange Groves on both sides for about 5 miles. Let me tell you though, 5 miles goes by pretty quick at those speeds. LOL

You try poking your head up? I tried it over a 100mph and whew that was a killer time! After 80 is not fun!

LOL!! I know what you're talking about aquill! I poked my head up at 180 on the CBR-1000 and I almost flew back...SCARY moments! I did that on the I 75 on the way to Naples!

Your head snaps back at 80 let alone 180 by the way top speed on those is 184! ;) Rode my buddies but never tested that out!

I'm in a different league I guess.

I have a Buell Blast. Fastest I've gone is 90mph. Fast enough for me.

I'll leave the tripple digit speeds to the GTI.

just re-confirmed the top speed in my 2.5. both the diagnostic tool and the separate gps (garmin nuvi 350) said 122, straight road, no wind, and no matter how much i kept the pedal down, it would not increase, even though i had several hundred rpms before redline.

Goldwings are awesome! Underneath they are a crotchrocket but with all of the extras the things are awesome! I tried to find a video we talked about on our cbrforum but I couldn't find it...it was seriously one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. This guy looks like santa clause and he's riding down in tennessee and the carolinas through the twisties on a goldwing and the big recording him is riding behind him and his boxes touch the ground whether he goes to the right or left! It was awesome, if only all could have seen!

Yeah Mac...........you guys are limited over there, wer'e not.
I've had around the 130 mark outta mine and there was a little left, not much.
Gotta say though, I didnt think it felt all that stable at that speed and I've driven more than a few cars at the 130 mark!

RE: Top speed
 
See I thought it felt good Jim but I wouldn't have wanted to have gone much faster! Do you have any roads that don't have speed limits over there Jim?

RE: Top speed
 
I know it's not very mature to go at those speeds, much less to have lifted my head, but man was it exhilarating, and an unforgettable experience! That Huge Honda is 3 wheeler right?

RE: Top speed
 
is this speed limter a US thing? What a bummer to spend all that money on a car and then not be able to use it. My 2.0 petrol has done a true 140+ (as my sat nav screen on my pocket pc switched to safe mode & this was set for 140) Oh & as we are talking bikes (my real passion) indicated160 the other week on my GSXR, not bad for a 8 year old bike with 54000 miles, but still does not accelerate as fast as my 20+ year old Suzuki RG500

Yeah I hear you bought the exhilarating part! I wish I would have been able to go to a track though! What did you mean by the 3 wheel honda thing???
