I'm talking top speed, not 1/4 mile, on a stock V-Rod. State if it's a CVO.
120 for me

My GPS keeps track of average and top speed for each trip I take. I saw (after stopping) that when I ran out of rpm in 5th on a flat road, slightly downhill and with no wind, I had hit 151mph. The engine was bumping the rev limiter, and it was the scariest thing I've ever done in my life...more scary than flying aerobatics or landing a chopper on a building helipad under high crosswinds. I did this on 2 separate occasions and it was after I had the V-mods and PCIII.
Bone stock, Have seen 140 mph on my 04 B model. Left a big dog, screamin eagle duece and screamin eagle Road king behind. 140 was on a very slight uphill grade on the interstate. Dont know how much she had left, backed off when I seen the other bikes WAY behind me. Oh yes, life is good at 140.
Completely stock I've seen 120 on I-90 in Sturgis. My husbands had it to 130 about 3 weeks before, he said its governed at that. It barely had 1004 miles on it. Had to get the break in miles before he would ride it.
He rides the 2000 Springer Softtail. Still says he can beat my V-Rod. He has all screamin eagle parts in his motor and lower gears, hooker headers. What ever we could do to the motor to make it bigger, better, faster we did it. Less horsepower but lots more torque.
His speedometer goes to 120 and hes had it buried but doesnt know how far over 120 it goes.. Mine goes to 150.

I've improved my V-Rod max speed to 135 mph...just couldn't take it anymore with the 1/2 helmet and goggles...
What are you guys wearing? Full helmets with face shields?
Also do you lean over towards the speedometer? I sat straight up and it felt like I was coming off the bike...

Harley needs to put a better speedo on the bike. I burried it and was grinning from ear to ear. Don't do that regularly, but need to burn the carbon out once in a while. And what I really liked about it was that I was not vibrated off the bike like I would have been on those other Harley's!!!!
Yea Sixth Gear!!
:vrod: JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME I TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND HERE I CAN'T HELP IT; I JUMP IT UP TO 140MPH, IT'S A BITCH TO HOLD ON TO IT SITTING UP SO LAST YEAR I BEGAN TO LAY DOWN ON THE TANK AND USE THE SUPPORT FOR MY SMALL H-D SPORT WINDSHIELD AS HANDLES AND THE THROTTLE LOCKED OPEN. I HAVE TO FIGURE A WAY TO OVER COME THE REV LINITER TO GET TO A BUCK FITY. ANY SUGGESTIONS?snd450 said:
