Officially, I think the fastest Motorola 6809 is
the 2-MHz 6809B.  Hitachi has been second-sourcing
and may be up to 3 MHz by now.
Back in '84, Motorola had been considering a CMOS faster version
code-named "Road-Runner", but that was put on hold, I think.

I anyone has a 3 or 4 MHz part, we'd like to hear
about it!  Especially an "E"-suffix version.
