I've hit a bat at very similar speeds and it bloody hurt so I know how you feel!
Poor ickle batty! (I have about 3/4 bats that visit the garden regularly )
I haven't hit anything so far *touches wood*
Owch!
I've hit a cat before or rather a cat ran into the wheel of my DR125 - I had to send someone back to make sure it was
dead coz i couldn't do it
5 years ago had to dodge a Bambi which ran out into the road (to[s]a[/s]dpool Lane) looked like the poor thing was on ice!
Hit a Pheasent on the Bilbury road last year they're Big Bird's believe me they hurt!
Crack my front fairing and left massive claw marks on my screen. :'( :'(
I have an ex wife that did the same, she was a big old bird too ;D ;D
I apparantly failed to dodge Bambi...

I personally haven't hit any wildlife on a bike but..
We had an instructor who worked with us and he hit a deer on a bandit with 120 miles on it. He didn't have to check if it was dead as he went straight through it!
Tony at Probike hit a pidgeon/ pheasant can't remember which but it smashed the fairing but also his helmet chipped teeth and a broken nose later!
least im not the only one! Had to stop and wipe the guts off my leathers, the bike still has blood splatter all over it!
>I hit a pheasant some years ago(or it hit me). Cranked over at the time doing about 70. It knocked me off and did £1000 quids worth of plastic and ally on my FJ1200. Needless to say I wasn't happy and neither was the pheasant. :'(
