Top Speed

So, the other day I wanted to see what it would do. I'll just say I was on 1-80 somewhere between Salt Lake City, UT and Wendover, NV. I opened it up full throttle and held it for a good 10 miles or so. I was a little surprised when it kinda just leveled off around 100-105. I thought for sure I would hit at least 130. Not that I ever need to go that fast since I definitly don't want to pay that fine! There was just me and a Harley (looked like a wide glide). I just barely crept passed him and was able to keep him in my rear view mirror. It sure felt good. It was a good thing since he had really loud pipes. He must have been doing 98 or so.

My friend at work has the Vulcan 2000cc. His is insanely fast. He can really rocket up the canyons. He said he has had it about 120 but backed off because he was scared and said it was still climbing not even at full throttle.

I guess my speedometer would be off 10%. I drove through a construction area and my speedo said 66 and the radar sign said I was doing 60.
