According to the specs, the 800 is 93.3 ... but terrain and performance of individual bikes will make that figure vary.

I've got a 800, too, but mine can go way over 75 mph.
When I ride solo on a highway, I can reach 90 mph and she looks like havin' more to give.
There must be something wrong with your bike, and I'm sure that soon or later the Gurus of this Forum will chime in to help ya.

Good GPS' are very accurate for speed.

A Vulcan that reads 70 but is going 60? That highly illogical. :) Anyway, has anyone ever tried using a GPS to measure their speed? I'm wondering if those things are accurate.

Whilst travelling back from our epic End to End ride (  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX-AgrsOlFs&feature=player_embedded) I decided to test how fast my 1500 was.
Yes I know it is illegal and maybe a bit stupid but sometimes the Devil gets to you.
The Trusty Steed was loaded with our camping gear with my partner Caz on the back. I am around 300 lbs with Caz being around 140 lbs. I had the satnav on to check my speed.
The bike went up to 100 mph but was showing 95 on the satnav and it was still pulling !
I know they are not meant to be fast machines but they can haul went you push them.
I also have an 800 which despite having no bags and a single seat will only get me to 90 mph on the flat. (Devil got me again !)
