They don't come with speedometers so most of it is just guessing anyway. I know the more important aspects are, cornering, acceleration, throttle response etc...but I'm curious how fast things can go?

Stock speed with stock gearing is around 76mph. With the big 3 and raising a tooth up front you will be somewhere in the low to mid 80s. I got mine up to 72 before i had to start slowing down for a stop sign. You can also disco the speed sensor and gain a couple MPH if you wanted. Hope this helps :)

Edit: I have a Vapor speedo that I callibrated with speed traps so I know I was going at least that fast

It's scary as hell! Almost feels like driving on ice....

Get ya a GPS and put it in your pocket, and take off. It should hold your top speed.
