Did you reach the sped limit on the road?

I heard that you can get pretty fast on the bike. Personally I haven’t managed to achieve astounding speed people boast. Did you reach the sped limit on the road? If so how did you do it? If not, do you think it is possible to do? I tried but wasn’t successful.
