Not sure if it has done before but just curious how many are around there.
Here is my VS

Honda CBR900RR 1993. I had to try it on a semi empty highway and I think I did 145mph

Vs

Suzuki FR80 1996. Not sure that bike came to the US but it was my college bike. Cost me 1M of Colombian pesos (equivalent of 500US at the time). I topped the thing at 60kph (37.5mph).
 
BMW K1300s was the fastest.

Really close for the slowest between my Husky 510 and my first street bike a Yamaha RD 350. Both less than a hundo.
 
yamaha exciter 185 vs Kawasaki ZX6R: the exciter couldn't get over 90MPH the ZX6R does that in 2nd gear.
 
Yamaha FJR1300
Suzuki DR650 or maybe Ural Gear-Up?
 
Kawasaki Z1000 vs HD 1000 Sportster. One was terrifyingly fast. The other terrifyingly slow... yet same engine displacement!
 
'05 ZX-10R, my 5th bike, bought it the second year after I learned to ride. Easily went over 150 mph indicated on Hwy 25 before I backed off. I rode it conservatively and never dropped it.

Slowest would be either the '08 DRZ400SM or the '07 DR650, but I've never gone for top speed run on any of my bikes so not clear where they top out. Must be under a 100 but it doesn't really matter to me - not interested to find out.
 
I always need to know... how fast is it. :laughing
 
Does a moped count? You were allowed to legally ride them in the 80's before you turned 16 in MN.... I think I was 14. So you can bet I had one the day I was old enough. My Tomos was 30mph ish is what I remember, perhaps a few more mph if you streamlined laying flat on the seat. :cool

Otherwise, my street legal and plated Yamaha GT80..... many years before I was legal to be riding on the streets, 50ish mph maybe, down Hwy 101 in Oregon. :teeth

Never owned anything REALLY fast. Various sport bikes, 600's, Triumph 675's, and an RC51 which I don't think was really any significantly faster.
 
Yeah, Moped indeed counts.

Vespa PE200 w/ Sidecar...terrifying. - Slowest (cause I don't want to go fast on it at t'all)

2019 Priller Factory 1100 or Ducati V4S. Fastest.
 
Fastest? My BMW k1600. Death Valley. 135. It could have done more but I chickened out.
Slowest? My Ninja 250. Fun, raced it for a few years. But it was sloooow.
 
Why not some pictures

Well, I guess I did not consider moped vs motorcycle. For some (I guess, I am included)a moped is a small motorcycle, right? Because if is not, my FR80 would not count despite it was fully street legal in my country. Here is the US, it would probably be street legal but no highway legal because it was just 80cc.

In any case, my runner up among the slowest will be a Honda XLR125cc (my very first bike, also). I did 110kph (68mph) downhill with the throttle open all the way.
 
1999 zx9R, showed 175 on the (optimistic)speedo. Only did that once.
Drz 400s, not sure of top speed.
 
1993 Ducati 888 SPO Superbike
1984 Yamaha PW-50 Y-Zinger

I saw an indicated 145 on the first bike one time. And I know I got up to 27 mph on the second. :laughing

===== Edit ====

Wait! Street legal? The second would have to be my first bike, 1970 Kawasaki G4 Trail Boss 100. Top speed near 60 mph
