As mentioned in the thread that spurred off into this one, I took the Tenere up to 100 mph going south out of Inuvik on the Dempster Highway. It was a beautiful clear day, the gravel highway was in great condition and I could see several miles ahead of me. I guess anything "could" happen but anything could happen on my walk to the mailbox as well. I just wanted to do it, so I did. Not too much later, the skies got dark and it started to rain. The road was like goose poop on oiled glass. Found a place to set a tent up for the night and waited it out after slipping and sliding around for a couple miles.
I also had my old KTM 520EXC at 100 (indicated on the Vapor digital speedometer) on the dry lake bed out near El Centro, CA. No idea how accurate the speedometer was, but that bike could move pretty quick.
All that said, I'm not really a speed demon. Just sometimes feel like letting loose a bit.
