(if you get caught doing 100mph or more over here, a Court appearance is inevitable. For speeds in excess of 100 mph (or more than 30 miles above the relevant limit) the punishment starts at disqualification as opposed to penalty points. So it'll likely be a 56 day ban/6 points on your licence [12 = disqualification], a fine of 150% of your weekly wage and a loooong time of hiked insurance costs!).
Quite a stiff breeze at that speed mind, an indicated 80 is much more pleasant. 60 better still.
Congratulations on your milestone HR.
Yeah, I don't get any riding soul at stratospheric speeds, and I don't believe many riders do. Some will get their "fix" at 180 km/h (112 mph) - yes for sure - and many super sport squids push their inline-4s between freeway interchanges in excess of 300 km/h. Small stretches of asphalt at midnight, but nonetheless a hazard to all other vehicles.
