The fastest I have been is about 110mph. Would have kept going, but was on a back road that needed some repair work. I have seen a vid posted on here that showed 138mph before the gov. Just my two cents.

180kph is about 113mph.My girlfriend took my Vibe up to 200 kph (125mph) before I told her to ease it! We were in Montana, so it was flat as a board and we could see for miles around.

Are you serious? That's only 111 mph according to Atomb's calculations. Mine governs at 118 mph. Not much of a difference, but just saying. 118 mph is approximately 190 kph.Inder

Mine is a 2004 GT. We have a 3 mile stretch where I live and we always do top speed runs on our bikes and cars. The fastest speed so far was my buddy's turbo hayabusa (311 to the rear wheel) and he hit 214 mph (gps verified). We ran my Vibe just for giggles and it was done at 135. A speed governer kicks in and that is it.
