I've been about 120 or so as a passenger.

hrm my ex was probably the best pass ever, on the first md run (while keeping up with a pack of one up 600s) we ended up crossing a hill about a foot in the air, wheel powered up a few times as well and she never flinched. top speed though i think is about 120ish. and for cage ive done 160+ with a pass in the nsx

Ive been 160 (limiter) in a 03 KB'ed Cobra and that was surprisingly comfortable.

Bike was reading 142 so I assume it to be well below that but it did feel like I was about to be sucked right off the damn thing.

No passenger though, and I don't think I would ever go that fast with one on either.

I'm not really comfortable with passengers so I usually take it pretty easy.

I've only taken passengers a couple times before.... fastest I went with someone on the back.... 45 mph. All were just local around town rides. My cousin and my sister wanted to go for a ride since they'd never been on a bike before, but they were kinda scared and didn't want to go fast at all or go on main roads. So I just took it easy on some backroads, they enjoyed it

I figured you'd take them up to 150 or so. Well a 150mile round trip.

I do remember giving a friend a ride on one who thought he needed a 1000cc or he'd become bored. I ran my 600 F3 up from 20-100mph. But it was on a small tiny road with a slight bend. He's looking at Ninja250s now.

Had Vader up to 120ish with comonboys on the back.
She was freaked, and I was grumpy cause she was supposed to be giving me directions and failed. So I was backtracking and trying to make up time.
It was when she dropped her SV and we were going to get a trailer, so prob not the best time for me to be pushing it.

Yeah I was in a tuck but since it was one of my first times going that fast on a bike I assume it was just getting used to it. I haven't opted to do that again.

One time I went over 100 with my visor up and when it slammed shut I was pretty sure I had just died it was suddenly so quiet.

My thoughts were like

"Oh great, good job Alex you just killed yourself."

"Oh shit, I was wrong, there must be an afterlife if I can hear myself. Damn."

Then as I was slowing down and put a leg down at a stop light.

"Wow, that was deep."

My buddy just sort of looked over and asked me if I was ok since I looked very confused at the time.
