Depends on rider weight, wind speed, gearing, fuel, tyres, aerodynamics, road conditions, etc, etc, etc.....
Saying that, I get around (yet to be verified with GPS) 130-140km/h max, revving to the moon, going down a steep hill and nekkid. Gearing 13-49.

I clocked 68 mph on a fireroad with 12/47 gearing, comfirmed with gps. It was plenty fast for dirt bike. I stood up half the time so as to miss the potholes.
My all time best is 164 mph on my ZZR1200, confirmed with radar on a long stretch of road near Wamic Oregon. A friend on his GSXR 1000 turned 172mph 3 times and a guy on his ZX12R did 181 mph during the same session.
