    I gotta ask WHY? Does it really matter how fast they go. I seldom look at the Speedometer but constantly look at the Fun Meter. It's straight ahead through the windshield and if you look hard enough you can see it.

    Default RTL

    Sort of by accident, I had our 2013 RTL up to 102 with two up!The Ryde was so smooth, I didn't realize how fast I was going. I was passing a Semi on the highway and I like to get past them as quickly as possible.

    Oh, I understand now. Not many straightaways in WV to get over the posted speed limit.

    I guess that I'd rather log miles; than miles per hour...

    Default Speed

    There are some that believe the posted speed limit is just a suggestion. If you need to go faster, maybe you should have left earlier.

    The speedometer says 200.

    Cut through the BS and its really kph which is 62 mph (100 or so Canadian).

    The true figure should be somewhere between 100 and 110 mph. If you need to go that fast.

    Let's just say I know a guy who has seen 127 mph on a 2014 RSS speedometer... He hasn't ridden an F-3 yet as far as I know.

    I just fantasize the KPH is MPH. I'm also 35 years old (not really) inside my head and I have fun there also.

    I have had mine up to about 95 mph but I was approaching some heavy traffic so I backed it down, but it was still pulling at that speed.
    Most fun for me is how fast it accelerates!!!!
