According to the Keisei Co. website:
The new Skyliner connects Nippori station and Narita Airport Terminal 2 in a minimum of 36 minutes, zipping along a new access route at 160 km/h top speed. We shortened the travel time by 15 minutes compared to current the 51 minutes via the existing route, thus substantially improving access time.
The speed of 160 km/h is the fastest among Japan’s conventional trains. The new Skyliner will enable world-class international airport access comparable to North American or European airports.
This is excellent news for travelers who had spent long hours on a jet only to have to spend an hour more on a commuter train to get into Tokyo.

Maybe I'll give it a try when I go to Japan in a few months.
