Back when my '01 was practically new, I used to hit just over 105 several days a week on my 50 mile commute at 2 in the morning.
Flat ground, no traffic, full tuck. I don't remember if this was before or after I changed the gearing, and tires but I think it was possibly all stock.

Although, as mentioned previously, the speedo is a bit optimistic. I measured / calculated it at one point at about 7% off, so that would have made the supposed 105... lets see... 97.6mph.

P.S. Speeding is dangerous and illegal. I was young and stupid (when my '01 was new I was barely an adult). I don't recommend finding out how fast your bike goes unless you are on a closed track.

On another note, I also discovered (on that same commute), that a full tank dirven at around 55mph, drafting behind semi's whenever possible, can net 90-100 mpG
Better than any hybrid! :-)
This I do endorse!
