Your top speed on Spyder?
I am still new to my Spyder and only have 500 miles on her. I ride safely and responsibly like I drive my truck, but when I am in the middle of nowhere on a straightaway I have been know to open it up. Today I hit 91mph on open interstate in the country for a short spurt and then backed her down to the speed limit. My RS was smooth as glass and seemed to have a lot left.
What have others reached?

115 mph, ducked down, slight head wind, airport runway. Stock.
Just sayin'............
Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally
Just sayin'............

110-115 mph on long straight country road. That was the 2010 RTS. Haven't had the 2012 RTS much above 90 mph yet.

I have seen mine at 105 on the GPS. I don't think it had much left. I might get 110 with a tailwind, maybe not. 2010 RTS. Stock.

2012 RS..!!
freeway 110 with a lot left speed wise not road wise towns come up to fast at that speed and not the place to be going that fast. Seen some u-tube videos where they get close to that 200 mark but then thats u-tube and anything goes...don't know that anyone knows the top speed for these machines.... Fast enough for us..!!

Somebody has to go wake up Doc...

I have had mine at 123 twice. Doc doru has the official world record right now.

So we know these things fly and feel pretty darn stable doing it. I thought they were goverened at about 110, but apparently not.
-
I've had mine at 100 mph indicated once. Haven't felt the need to do it again. On the freeway usually cruise around 70 to 75 mph.

On my 2008 GS...been up in the 115 range plenty of times. Up to 126 a few times.. according to the speedometer.. which we all know is far too enthusiastic about your real speed. In the real world via GPS I'd say around 117-119 tops for me.
Had my RT up to 105 a few times.
Pretty smooth ride at those speeds.
Can't remember what Doc's official Salt Flats speed was.. but that's a far more accurate measurement than us hitting 115 for a few seconds on the highway....
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Got to 104 in a mile stretch. Was rather disappointed. But that was when it just had 300 miles on it. Have no idea if it would do better now but I sorta doubt it. It appeared to be all in.
