I have a 90’s sport bike that can do 140 - even today 85 is about all I car to do with it.
Hell, 1970’s cars didn’t really do those kinds of speeds well - the suspensions just weren’t designed for it, they tended to float a LOT.
There were some really ballsy folks in the early 20th, racing stuff like this with little more than some leather protecting them (notably on their head).
That Harley had a factory top speed of 85 mph (140 km), which was quite impressive at the time. A Ford Model A topped out at 65 mph (104 km).
85 on a bike (and tires and roads) of that era.
