    It wasn't too long ago, I saw someone claiming to have gone 225mph (yes mph) on his. I find that very difficult to believe, however, as ours has no where near the gitty up and go as my 2000 BMW R1100RT and I've only ever had it to 135 by GPS readings. as always YMMV.

    Don't know how fast because my eyes were watering so much I could not read the speedometer. But people who saw me said I was leaving a "vapor

    trail" Go figure!

    Default 110

    So far the only opportunity that I had to open her up got me to 110 mph. She still had a little bit more to go. Maybe 120-125? I'll let you know next spring.

    A few years ago a few of us on 5 bikes (2014 RT LTD, 2014 STL, 2013 STL, 2012 RT-S, & 2011 RT) did 3 laps around the Pocono Speedway full out. The best speed if I can remember correctly was about 187 kph which is about 116 mph. We had them pegged chasing the pace car. A once in a lifetime moment.

    My 2011 RTS is absolutely silent because it goes faster than the speed of sound.

    Default Well....

    I have been upto 117 mph on my RS but ran outta road... still had some left in her but you are limited to what the rev limiter will let you do. I believe that they are set to about 120 and the highest believable speed I have seen is 126 mph. Get rid of the limiter and who knows....

    Do all RT's come with a windshield.? The size of the windshield could make a 10 mph difference
