Well a highly tuned Fat Boy soft tail with power commander can.

It could go faster than 110 but this is the fastest I could do with an open helmet and no goggles.

bit silly no goggles ,i came a zundapp 250 years years ago because a wasp or been hit me in eye ,i couldnt see for a week ,had right black eye,and
loads grazes on arms legs i would never ride without goggles or a visor these days

i wouldnt have thought a a fat boy needed a power commander for that speed ,in honesty it should do that speed all day long,with out tuning boxes
its a big engine

I didn't even know a HD could go so fast to start with.
It could go faster but I couldn't see much after 110. Heh

And you do feel the speed more than other more "aerodynamic" bikes. I think this is a plus.

Yes, not very smart with no goggles. But you know stupidity of the moment. Thinking "it's a Harley I won't go that fast." Little did I know.

Harleys are very popular in Sweden.
The only thing I like about them is that when you do 50mph it feels like 100mph.

Have you ever been on a Harley at 50mph? I can assure you it certainly doesn't feel like a 100 at all, especially with an engine probably only turning over at around 2000rpm at that speed. It makes for pretty relaxed cruising at 70mph plus.

I've done 110mph on a Harley.

My point was that you don't have to ride fast to feel the speed. The 50-100 was just an example.

Gotcha... I wouldn't fancy 110....

I have been a lot faster than 110mph,but not on a harley
