once did about 90Mph. it was me and my grandpa on a BMW 1150GS. it was hard cause the wind was so strong, especially that day. we were on our way back from chamonix to geneva (we were on vacation in europe at the time.)

About 130 on my brother's Ninja 600. That was actually very smooth and I could have easily gone faster if I had more straight road.

The scariest, looking back on it, was hitting top end, 110 mph, on my V-Star 1100. That's alot of wind. I was trying to catch up to my brother after he blew past a road we were supposed to turn on.

120 on the HD,

the front end started to wobble a bit. Let me know how stupid it was.

105mph on a '78 gs550. Ton up!
i'm thinking that might have contributed to the blown piston ring a week later :(.

edit: also i'd like to add that this was on new, clean deserted highway in arizona on a slight down grade where i had clear vision for about a mile and a half down the road. in other words, "kids, don't try this at home."

120mph.

I was on the sawgrass expressway down in South FL and no one was around.

It was kind of scary at that speed :p

This was on my current motorcycle, a Honda Shadow Sabre 1,100cc.

122mph on a gpz550 inside the city and county of San Francisco going north exiting the park presidio tunnel. The bike was tracking very smooth with no issues.

Having ridden in the past 12 years...

Around 130. Before you all judge I should mention that it was in a school zone around 8:15am during a snow storm with a baby riding on back.

Uh.. 20 or 25 MPH? This was a few years ago on a scooter that looked like a Honda Super Cub. Does that count?

About 170 on a friends Kawasaki ZX-12 & the scary thing was that although I knew I was going fast I had no idea how fast till I happened to glance down at the speedometer.

25Kmh in a parking lot while doing the course. I thought that was fast, then when I got back on a bicycle I found out how slow that was.

yeap. going fast on a motorcycle is much diffrent then a car. i was on my CBR f3 and went to pass a semi on the tollway. blew by it and looked down and seen it at 130. felt like i was doing 80mph
