• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

How fast have you been on your Spyder? 104mph (by my Zumo 450) is my fastest..

And, that was fast! :shocked: Thursday I was out in great weather (48-54 degrees), and clocked in about 160 miles. I decided to get on I-40 and head toward Nashville for awhile. I was crusing about 74mph (70mph zone) in the right lane. And, on my left came a BMW 740 sedan. So; I decided to follow him for a bit. He opened it up... And, I just followed for a mile or so. I just rolled the throttle... And, you know how these Spyders are. Anything above about 4,600 rpms, and you're in the power band. He was still running over 105mph when I backed off. That was a good rush!
 
115 was fastest for me but i ran out of road .... one of my customer's dad bought a spyder said he hit 120 on his .... but like you said it was a rush ....:coffee:
 
speed

when asked by a police officer how fast will it go,I said had her all the way up to 55mph :D
 
100 mph

At 100mph and 7000rpm with a lot left. It was a rush of the second kind.
Then 105mph and 7300rpm chicken out after that.

I would guess for those of you that have seen 110mph on the Spyder's Speedo, your actual speed was around 105mph.
 
Isn't the bike capped at 120 or something like that? I see some got it to 130? How is this possible?

My BMW is capped at 122...and it really does shut down at 122...until you get a little over 100 again...

I'd assume it's the same with the Spyder...if it's limited, it should be limited...

The Spyder limit that was mentioned so often by BRP was apparently an attempt by their PR folks to discourage us. Probably had quite the opposite effect. It has been widely reported that the stated 115 mph limit was pure fiction. Surprised at an actual limit on the Beemer. What year and model? Maybe it is a good thing I have a police bike, with higher gearing and no such limit. I have seen more. Then again, I have no need for anything that fast, I seldom venture more than 5 mph above the speed limit. I may have a competition driver's license, but I doubt many of those other idiots out there do, and I-94 ain't no race track!
