Su has had 75 on her xmax 250 on a short section of road and she wasnt trying to go fast.
We have had 108mph on the 650 Burg 2up before I had to slow down for traffic.

(Fz1s 156mph via gps with 2 tooth lower front sprocket for lower top speed, but faster acceleration )

Burgman: 113 on the clock, 102 on Satnav. Big screen, top box, seat bag, fully loaded
SH 300i: 91 on clock.
Puch Maxi: 29. Downhill with a tailwind, peddling like fook!

If you believe all of the last post then I'll also have a guess at 135 :D
To be honest took it to a speed which I can only say was uncomfortable
sat nav read ? speedo said ? I'll leave you to fill in the gaps

I reckon my X7 does about 65mph on the flat, but you can get a clock speed of just over 70, a mates piaggio x9 125 evo is quicker and he reckons about 75

leaves mine any way
