What's the top speed of the Spyder?

[Lamonster]

:2thumbs: By the way that's not my video or Spyder but it is very cool.:doorag:

YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

[kalavera]

so what's that, 127 mph (205kph)

pretty wicked to see the speedo all the way to the top like that

[Degaman]

:2thumbs: Awesome!

Looked at a converion table, your estimate is correct 127.1 MPH

I wonder what it was taching at for RPMs at that speed. I am always looking for a 6th gear or overdrive on the highway, and I am not even close to that speed.

[docdoru]

Almost 9 PM and still daylight?!? Left hand on the camera @ 127 miles/h? :dontknow:

That's exactly what I thought. they are probably on some kind of rolls so the bike is not moving. Not only the left hand is on the camera but it looks like the guy is looking at the meter too.:yikes:

Don't think so. Look at the reflection in the gauge, you can see him holding the camera and that sure looks like wind to me.

As far at the clock goes my clock is not set and I have no idea what time is on it, I use my GPS for a clock.

This is what I was thinking,, He had to be in the RED right?? Now that we are on this subject what is everyones speed when they are on the interstate? I am still under 600 miles so I am not pushing it to the level of interstate driving but I have been up to 73 for about 15 seconds is all,,, So tell me, once I get past the 600 mile break in period can I drive this thing 80 MPH on the interstate with no problems or is it pushing it to much cause thats what I normal run on my other bike? I'll be honest with you I look at the TACH more then my speed and if I remember correctly I think I was taching over 5 1/2 I'm thinking,, but again is 80 miles to fast once it gets broke in, constant freeway drive for long distances? Thanks in advance..

PS: Forgot to tell you--- This is just a normal STOCK spyder and I plan on keeping it that way for now..

...Apparently

"A fond la caisse" translates as something like

"Hell-bent for leather..." :dontknow:

(Gotta say I wasn't comfy letting go with my left hand at high speed...I wonder.)

[Greg H.]

Neat! I have been 107mph according to my GPS. That's haulin'! But, 127mph is smokin'!

Note, the temperature gauge in the video. :yikes: 'Guess that's Celsius, though. :)

I didn't do a traditional break-in on my bike...I had to drive it back 80 miles when I bought it...on the highway...at highway speeds...oh well...so be it...the bike runs great...love it!

BRP says that the max hp is between 6-8000...so, unless you are there, you're not getting the max outa your bike...

Hmm.

Look at the bars. I bet we've all way ran hotter, way slower.

Just the 127 mph wind doing that?

30C=86F?

Where is this guy? What road??

Maybe one of the French guys can fill us in on the details. :doorag:

[VIspyderman]

Well, I have 36,000 Km's on mine since November 2007. I ryde every day. I'm not a hotdogger, but have been known to cover the 25 Km's from my house to Starbucks in around 12 minutes or less (lightly travelled road). I have taken my Spyder to 203 Km's an hour which is 126 Mph. I would say with reasonable confidence that removing the left hand from the bar, holding a camera, focusing in on the speedo... well that just takes the sort of guts I don't have. The top speed on my Spyder isn't quite in the red on the tach, it just seems to limit out. Now that I have the F1 windsheild, I can't seem to get it over 198km's.

[ataDude]

A friend of mine had his up to 128-129 (indicated) last Saturday. I thought he was crazy. But it wasn't stock... had the race air flow filter and the TBR Juice Box in addition to some cool pipes. He thought the stock was slower by about 8 MPH. :joke:

[IMRU3]

whoa!!!:yikes: That was quite daring but I bet it was exhilarating!

[igor]

my se5 cant do more than 197 km/h.

[Bersquack]

"a fond la caisse" translate to full throttle, they're going "all in". Although "caisse" translate to box, it is used as a slang term for car.

[ataDude]

If you were replying to me, he said it wasn't that bad... particularly on the deserted farm roads where he does this. :joke:

If you weren't, just ignore me.

[Surfmeister2000]

My top speed is 202 - 205 km/h (125,5 - 127,2 mph) with the hindle on.
With the stock it is going 193 - 195 km/h (120 - 121 mph)

GPS is about 10 km/h (6,2 mph) less.

The good thing is we have here in germany no speedlimit on the highway.
So perfect for testing top speed of vehicles.

If that guy is going that fast on the highway i want him to be my surgeon cause he had a hell of a steady hand holding that camera riding the spyder with wind and he never faulted? wish he had shown some of the road. :dontknow:

[quantumleap39]

my 08 #148, has seen 134mph :yikes:. strong tail wind and laying down on the seat, feet on the rear pegs head just about on the bars with the sport screen.

I thought there was a limiter at 130. Guess not.

[2faston3]

It had to show up eventually...

The yellow spyders are the fastest!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Did I miss something in the vid? Didnt see that it was a yellow spyder.



Everyone knows Red Spyders are the FASTEST!!!!!!!

It was yellow.

It was yellow.

Scotty and 2faston3 are right. Last one second of the video.
(Of course, in the unedited version, you can see a silver police Spyder pass him and pull him over.)

At 205 km/h (127 mph) your RPM is about 9300 to 9400.
Limiter is set at 10.000 RPM.
So at least 135 mph should be possible.

[wingnut]

where's all the wind noise i have more
wind noise at 50 mph.

[nyfdtsdemt]

was in TN did 135 but it was not too much fun...... I weight about 250 and it was trying to leave me behind.......not fun at all
