I haven't done the math myself, but here's what the internet says.

I've gone about that fast in a car (142) but don't have the guts to try it
on a bike. That was several years ago too, I might not have the guts to do
that in a car anymore either. I'll never find out as long as I'm driving the
tacoma ;) Fastest my bike has gone was 90mph and that was only briefly. For
the most part I keep it between 70-80 which is normal cruising speed of
Houston traffic. That works fine for me.
