I ran a blown gsxr 1K at Bonneville and set a couple FIM records (flying mile and flying kilo). My advice if you're going to run top speeds would be to install a steering dampener. The AT seems light on steering, (good for off road and normal riding) but it might be a tad twitchy at high speed.
 
I have seen 120mph on my GPS - I am used to Honda Speedos being 5-7% off reading too high. My Honda St1300 reads too high by 4-5mph at an indicated 70mph. I was surprised that my 2019 DCT indicates very accurately as compared to my GPS indicated speed - it is spot-on. Maybe Honda made some changes on the 2019 models-not sure.
 
I think I might be alone in not caring at all what the top speed is! As long as it'll do 80-90mph two-up with luggage I'm happy.
You are not alone. In Ontario due to our anti-stunting and anti-racing legislation if you get caught or are suspected of doing either of those acts you lose your bike and your license for one week on the spot. If the stopped rider or driver refuses to hand over the bike and license the attending officer can lay another charge which carries a $5000 fine. The anti-racing portion takes effect at 50 or more kph over the speed limit. Since the highest speed limit in the province is 110 kph on certain limited access highways and 100 kph or less on all others, top speed is more an academic than practical question here.

Well of course that’s a given; nobody here has done ANYTHING written about on a public road, all the posts here were done off road and or on a private closed road.
 
Nah small cars are usually no bother tbh. You rarely see one of those fast Golfs who'd wanna mess. The regular small car can't handle to catch up once our bikes accelerate away. I only notice Audi and BMW mostly.
Don't mess with a Tesla- those are wicked fast!
