    QM,
    That's interesting, others have said it's about 90 mph.
    102 mph is fast enough, but how is it for freeway droning at 75 mph - 80 mph? There are a lot of freeways I have to travel...

    I have done quite a bit of interstate ryding and I will tell you, the 900 is impressive as can be! Acceleration from 70 miles an hour to 85 miles an hour is unbelievable. It will throw you back.

    60-95 mph roll-on is very good on the 900/Rally (video below), and maintaining anything in that range is effortless (assuming that you have a windscreen and a cruise control). The freeway duty can be quirky, depending on your particular unit's alignment and if you have lots of off-camber roads or grooved pavement to deal with. The off-camber and grooves don't play nice with my Rally... even after the ROLO laser alignment was done, it still wanders around at freeway speeds and tries to veer out of the lane when going over dips/depressions.

    Roll-on video is here...

    Just purchased the 600. Only about 20 miles on it so far (bad weather). Curious how satisfied owners of the 600 are with freeway use. Can it sustain 70 for long distances? Does it have enough range an acceleration to pass slower moving vehicles?

    I made also a short test - 96 KMH = 60 mls/ H .. around 6 seconds on the first run .. (with the european mapping !!)

    I travel 70 miles a day round trip just to work & home (but it usually ends up being a lot longer). We’ve only had it a week so far & ridden it to work 3 times. Of the 70 miles, 46 of them you need to to be doing 70-75mph just to be in the flow of traffic. The 600 has been handling it without even breaking a sweat. Top speed I’ve gotten out of it so far was 93mph & it still had a little to go but had to back out because of traffic. Very happy with our 600 so far

    My experience at freeway speeds with my 600 has been the same as dbk2tavi's; real comfortable (had it up to 75 with my wife on the back, no problem!). I had it up to 90mph before hitting traffic. I have over 2600 miles on my Ryker.
