I have had my 1800N to 120 mph with a fairing on and had throttle left and that
was fast enough for me! It didn't take long to hit 120 mph either.

I went down I-10 one nite for about 15-20 miles on my 1800r with the girlfriend on back a 110 and it never missed a lick. I have had it at 122 one time with more left it wanted to go but I wasn't
I weigh about 260(not that it matters much) and the other day just to test I got it up to 110 easily. I slowed down only cause I live in a real curve heavy area. I have no doubt it would have gone another 20mph faster
cant believe this thread is still going....fact the speed limiter kicks in at 135 (dont ask) the bike still has plenty of throttle and rpm left over at this point but unless you hack the programming that is maximum top speed on a 1800.....end of story
I'm wondering if its possible to bypass the speed limiter. What is the gearing difference in the 1300 rear-end vs the 1800 rear-end and if you switch to the 1300 rear end on a 1800c does the speed sensor get switched also to make the speedometer correct. I've seen 133 on the speedo with a windshield,lowers and saddle bags. Just wondering if i could get a little more top end out of her.

I get a wild hair every now and then and open it a little. About 110 is fast enough for me... and I don't hang there very long. I have to be in a remote area with absolutely no traffic or driveways. Hey! I've always believed that every vehicle needs to be blown out a little.
