I do 85 all the time on the way to work (during riding months, that is...)
Probably more...
There's a really great, almost always empty interstate interchange that I hit and can really slice the curve up nicely. It's shaped like a question mark, a big round curve with a squiggle at the end. It empties into the inside lane of another interstate that doesn't get congested enough to slow down since it's outbound from downtown. The cages are usually doing about 75.
I prefer to hit that a little faster than they are, since I need to cut over 4 lanes before the next exit, and since they are going to work, they usually aren't too generous. I've looked down to see 85 on the speedo before I begin to merge and have gone a little faster but by that time, I've other things to keep an eye on.
By the time I pull in the parking lot, I'm more awake than 4 cups of coffee.
