Your top speed on Spyder?

[Rockwall]

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?:doorag:

[Jeriatric]

See docdoru......... you got a way to go. :doorag:

[ARtraveler]

90-95 for me. I don't have to go any faster, but its nice to know that its there if needed. :thumbup:

[otter28169]

115 mph, ducked down, slight head wind, airport runway. Stock.

Just sayin'............

[bullant12]

[bruiser]

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

[SPYD3R]

had mine @ 200...... yawn.... then i woke up.... :joke:
69709

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.

[Chupaca]

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....:thumbup: Fast enough for us..!!

[Bob Denman]

Somebody has to go wake up Doc... :bowdown:

[joet82]

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

[Rockwall]

So we know these things fly and feel pretty darn stable doing it. I thought they were goverened at about 110, but apparently not.

[flaggerphil]

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.

90 mph here then shifted to 5th

[Firefly]

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....

[Tx web rider]

i ride with a goldwing 1800 a lot and he goads me on a lot he also says i ride my 2 cylinder spyder to hard lol

had sustained 115 having a RS total stock power plant a large touring wind shield givi bags and my overly large weight on board

done 109 2 up till the governor started poking my ribs

105 towing my loaded trailer passing a semi on 2 lane

PS it will out run most all Hardlys on the road lol i love that it shuts them up when i do that

In another MaGGie Valley...;)

[spydercowboy]

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.:mad:

[btcherm]

95 mp, and that all I need for speed,on my spyder RTS I have other toy for that.

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.

[WackyDan]

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

[jerpinoy]

No wonder 200 mph on the speedometer on my dreams:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: .

[asp125]

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.

[wilfredopr]

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

I guess that's why BRP put 200kph speedometers on.

Thanks for posting this oldie but goodie. Brings back some memories and very appropriate. :thumbup:

[Grandpa Spyder]

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

[ThreeWheels]

I got up to about 102 once, and that last 10 MPH was pretty tough.

[StanProff]

3 MPH :gaah: how do ya get this thing out of reverse :dontknow:

That's when the governer kicks in, at 3 in reverse i think:shemademe_smilie:

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.

[Green RSS]

103mph and it still had some more to give.

[Tierhog]

119 MPH... Felt really nice;)
