Most transit and motor coaches are goverened for 72 MPH. Believe me, that's fast enough in a rolling behemoth that weighs in at around 36,000 pounds and takes three football field lengths to stop.

Without a speed limiter obviously the vehicle will go much faster. A bus/coach has essentially a heavy truck engine mounted in a much lighter body with a much higher geared final drive because its not pulling the weight that the truck is. speeds of over 100 mph are attainable, here in the UK the documented top speed a coach has been clocked at is around 110 mph. It depends on power output and gearing. Volvos, scanias and the older AEC reliance coaches were among the quickest
