Well, I farted around for an hour in city traffic, so I really laid into it on the Edens Expressway, at over 90mph. A solid 100 is easily achievable, but 120 might be a little bit overrated.

Still, it'll do over 100. The 85mph speedos were a little pessimistic. Still, aerodynamics of a cattle barn and 114hp don't add up to very much!
