Cycle World tested a Road Glide against the Honda FB6. Both topped out at 126. The Honda was 12.2 and the Road Glide was 12.4 in the 1/4. I believe they are both ECM limited.

I didn't mean it only did 75, I meant that there was a lot of wind buffeting at higher speeds. Took the wifey down to Bullhead doin 90 + and it was pretty rough unlike the Goldwing at those speeds.

Oh. The big ass wind screen on the Road King makes going 80-90mph easy peasy. Believe it or not, the Hog is more comfortable then the FJR-1300 I had.
