Had my RT up to 105 a few times.
Pretty smooth ride at those speeds.

Doc hit 118 in the quarter-mile at the Spyderfest Drags. He has the paperwork to prove it. He got much faster in Bonneville. Of course he was Turbocharged.
I was able to hit 120 on a flat deserted road in Nevada south of Ely. I think I had a bit of a tail wind.

My 2008 GS...119 mph (on speedo) trying to keep up with Firefly on a 3 car pass on a 2 lane highway! 
The 2012 RT-S...not so much...

115 MPH pretty much maxed out with the tall touring shield, three stuffed hard cases and my fat behind on it.

The RS saw triple digits this weekend.. two-up, passing a string of cars at 7,000ft. elevation. I have no doubts it will do more.
When life throws you curves, aim for the apex

... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...

I hit 120mph, but that was before the aerocharger. I haven't have the chance to try it again.

105 MPH
I took it to 105 mph once then backed it down. Fast enough for me.

I got up to about 102 once, and that last 10 MPH was pretty tough.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

What have others reached? 
Rockwall if you only have 500 miles on your RS after all this time you really need to ride with WSR out of Woodstock. 500 miles is a weekend ride. Thirteen of us just did 600 a little over a week ago on a weekend ride.
95 mph is what I have done on my old GS just to make a simple pass of a semi.

103mph and it still had some more to give.

Re: Your top speed on Spyder?
119 MPH... Felt really nice
