round about 95-105 Km/hr, posted limits are usually 80-90 KMs, the police wont bug you if youre over by 10 usually..although I had a friend get busted for doing 3 over. depends on their moods.

Anywhere from 80-100 on good days with hardly any traffic :wink:

80-90 on the highway. about 10-20 over on other roads, unless its a residential area in which case i go the speed limit or less. I wouldnt really want speeding motorcycles or cars rolling through my nieghborhood all fast and stuff.

70 is most comfortable on my marauder, though sometimes I feel like going a bit faster.

how's nebraska?

are there canyons there or twisties and racetracks?

I wish - closest thing we have to canyons in nebraska is Iowa, which has good runs just on the nebraska iowa border where i live (Omaha), Colorado is great and a day away. Nebraska does have some great riding in the aspect of touring though, the black hills are amazing for anyone who loves to ride a bike, not as many twisties, but you are proud to be on two wheels when you are out there.

Race tracks, there is one that i know of in my area/eastern nebraska. Another one is being built. We are close to Kansas City, which has a few, and places in Iowa. So there is no problems. Plenty of places to ride, and a good season to do it in.

About 65 in the slow lane. Yes im a wimp when it comes to the highway and thats about as fast as id like to go on my 28 year old, 391cc, un-faired bike. Any faster than that and the bike really starts to scream and turns into a giant vibrator. Probably could hit 80 for a short burst but I havent felt that adventurous yet to attempt it.

Normal cruising 65-75 mph with sprints from 80-110 ocassionally. I'm not
quite as foolish as i once was,but it just happens once in a while.

On the interstate? Usually around 80, or if there are no cops around, up to about 100 (bike's max speed).

70-80Mph, any faster and I need to tuck and any slower I feel like I'm going to get ran over.
