I've hit 105 or a bit more and felt i could have gone further, but i never looked at the tack to see how far i had to redline. felt i could have gone another 10 MPH if i wanted to push it but about that time i felt like it would be smarter to back off. Also on the speedo accuracy thing...i don't know how accurate mine is. I'm kind of confused because i clocked myself at 52 one day with one of those side of the road speed indicators and my speedo read exactly that speed. Then the other day i found another one on a different street and made a few passes at around 45 on the speedo and the indicator read 4 MPH less ! So at this point i don't know what to think. The faster i go the more accurate ?! Who knows.
