I don't know how fast mine will go and don't care. It goes 70MPH on the highway and thats fast enough. Not only that all Hondas are shipped with a 10% difference in actual speed and what the speedo says. So you are going 10% slower than the speedo claims. I heard they started this in the 1960's bikes and have done it ever since.

They do that on cars too.  My prelude is about 10 mph off at 70 and my civic is about 7mph at 70.
