Around 85 MPH on my G5 passing a truck on a 2 lane blacktop.
Bike felt fine even though 85 is way past the bikes design envelope.
Too short and too light to be a uber high speed bike. If you want to go fast there are better bikes to do it on.

Im sorry to say this but this kind of response does miff me a bit.
Its a 500cc bike for crying out.
I want to do 100 Kmph. Without feeling like the bike is going to throw me.
Is that being un-resonable ?
Its not like Im asking to do even 65 MPH. Or 70 or 80 or 90 or 100.
60 MPH and Id be happy.
Is that really too much to ask for.
Does it really warrant a wise crack like there are better bikes to do it on ?
What are you implying ? 60 MPH too fast ? or that I dont know there are other bikes out there ?
Ok sorry Im stupid.
Please tell me what speed I should ride the bike at. Ill stick to that number.
The reason for this post is to see if its just me or this bike. Or do others feel it too.
If everybody says it cant do 60MPH. Then thats cool with me.
Did take it to the dealer. They test rode it and said its fine.
SO that door is closed for now.
Did own a Thunderbird AVL 350 which would do 135 Kmph and be rock steady.
The only problem was geting on the gas while in a corner would lift the front wheel / make it light but in a straight line it was stable.
My first Bullet a 1965 350 STD bullet was so steady at 100 Kmph.
That I could carry a pillow and lie on the bike. We would do stuff like stand on the seat and it would keep its line. Even over pot holes. (I was 14 when I had it).
Actually my dad was in the armed forces. And ever station he would command Id pick up one of the bullets from the MT section and ride it. Every single STD 350 was the same. Rock stable at 100 Kmph. In fact it took a lot of effort to get it to change its line.
What changed in the UCE.
