Some of the best Salesmen, Are the ones that don't know the product that there selling,
This way they can say anything with a straight face.

I tell 'em, "yeah it'll probably peg the speedometer but I haven't had it past 180 myself."

That's funny...

[Bob Denman]

Right on brother!
He was literally too stupid to be embarrased.

Some people are only alive because it's illegal to shoot them...

Seth, I was only joking with Roger about voiding the warranty. Guess I should've added a laugh icon. By the way, how you doing up there in the North Country?

oh, I am doing pretty good got the death machine back with a entire lower end, the starter wore a hole in the case so I was spyderless for 3 weeks which was just enough time to get sideswiped by a lady while driving my ridgeline which has 6k in damage which is now getting fixed.

I know it may sound funny but it was 82 degrees up here today and rider heaven. My g/f is now riding a 01 rc51 with art pipes and doing a bang up job of doing what ann did in this thread, proving to people how it is by doing it.

Since my second incompetent dealer (yes Tulsa might be Spyder hell) replaced the display they broke installing my HIDs the speedometer has been sticking at 160. So I spent yesterday cruising everywhere at 200 MPH. LOL

Was it fun?

With the aero dynamics of a shoe box? You could put a friggin Formula One engine in it and maybe go that fast . . . . but who would want to? Around this part of the country we have to have a a 'deer tag' just to get a bike license . . . before the updated DPS, 60 MPH while passing a truck felt like 200mph . . .

[SXSMachine]

Not advocating anything but here is the kind of speeds you can do 2 up on a Spyder and its KMH.



Aint no 200mph

These things are fast, no doubt, but for obvious reasons... that is uncomfortable to watch... One mistake or failure and...

[Frank G]

Be careful, that'll void yur warranty!!

So.. does the spyder have a tell all recording computer that BRP can access?

[IWN2RYD]

Wow......... Just wow... It "Might" get to 200mph if dropped at around 40,000 feet and had enough time to free fall...

[bluestratos]

I used my gps when I topped out at 95, give it enough time it would likely get close to 100 but speedy Gonzolus a spyder RT is not. Shame, my old Suziki 650 Burgman did an honest 105 on GPS and that was a scooter, lol. Good news is it gets to 85-90 like XXXX through a goose, lol.

[CyncySpyder]

My RTS will go 200mph (in my dreams).

i wouldn't want to go that speed on this thing,, i have seen 176 on 2 wheels when I was younger,,,

And this aint photo-shopped Just wish I knew how the pup was doing it

Is'nt 200 mph equivilent to 320 kph..Its been along time since I did my guzinta'sbut I think thats close

[reggystan]

Who says you can't do 200mph on an RT? I did and it was well over 24 hrs of avg speed and in MPH! ha ha ha, this was my readout during my last run after Lamonts BBQ down to the dragon, when I sw this I had to stop to take a picture of it. So I can claim that I not only did 200mph but I did it over an average of over 24hrs! The best was I was also pulling a trailer!! Hmm anyone can top that? ha ha ha. You gotta love the gremlins that are inside these things!!!!


200mph RT.jpg

I was at Bike Fest in Las Vegas today and there was a 2012 RT Limited on display. As I was walking up to it I hear the sales guy tell a couple that it will go 200 mph. I said are you serious and he said yes if it didn't go that fast they wouldn't make the speedo go that high.. So I exIplained to them that the Spyder is Canadian and the speedo is built for Kph. I just hate it when sales people don't have a clue as to what they are selling.

Maybe all you did was pass the speed of light.....er, LEDs.

[Jeriatric]

Forgot to mention you were pulling a trailer too

[reggystan]

I guess the RT saw the light a few times at the dragon. ha ha ha LOL

Next year you should run for the FIM World Speed Record in Bonneville
(I'll be there...)

[Bob Denman]

Do you think that maybe they'd let Reggy and Dave hold a "Clash Of The Titans" dragrace across the salt?? They both have twice "the ton" on record...
