If you are Chuck Yeager and think you can handle it with 60, no problem.
There is NO official limitation for crosswind (except for Autoland approaches)
That would depend upon the company SOP. The majority of airline SOPs that I've used list crosswind LIMITS, not maximum demonstrated crosswinds. If the company puts it in the SOP as a limitation then that is EXACTLY what it is, no matter how it was derived in the first place.

I would be pleased to hear just how YOU personally determine how far above the maximum demonstrated crosswind is safe - because if no one has demonstrated greater you are in uncharted territory.
