It depends! SteveC was correct as there is no standard speed.

They can range from the mid 120's up to the 150's I think. It varies fairly wildly which is why, after seven years flying the -88/90 I really have no idea. I think we were about 142 knots this morning into SLC.

Depends heavily (pardon the pun) upon weight, what the wind is doing and whether you're using flaps 28 or 40.

Now the no flap/no slat abnormal configs can get interesting however.
