How Fast

[Buckeye Bleau]

The subject has been discussed a few times over the years. The number that comes up mostly is the 110 - 115 miles per hour range. This information based on what people read from their speedometers while tooling down the highway.

There are a few that have documented speeds--as in from racetrack tryouts. They will probably show up.

Me?--90 - 95 maybe once. Have not tried the limits. The 225--that's in the ball park in you have your speedo set to KPH. I used that feature while driving in Canada--makes it easier to follow the speed limit signs. 62 MPH is equal to 100 KPH. I did 120 when in Canada a couple times.

A good trick to play on a novice rider. Put in in KPH and go for a ride on the highway at about 70. It will show up on the speedo as plus 100. That usually gets their attention. :roflblack:

In my previous life I used to travel to Canada for work and always loved doing it.

On the bridge crossing over I would change to KPH, this was great because I could legally drive much faster than I could in the USA almost twice as fast, 100 vs. 65.

The other pleasure was the fact that the fuel was much less expensive, about $1.27 or so vs. $2.50. That was awesome.
I could drive almost twice as fast and fuel was almost 1/2 price.:yes:

Now, before you say ANYTHING, I live in my own little world, don't ruin it for me! :roflblack:

You have it figured out nicely. Mind if I join you. :bowdown::firstplace:

100 even on my ST-S, but that was only to see how fast everyone else was blowing past me. Even at that, I was barely overtaking them..........:riding:

Fast enough

May I tag along? :clap:

104. Ran out of Road and Nerve, not necessarily in that order. I will not do that again

I had mine up to 80, never felt the need to push it past that. Maybe someday. Dale

118

I know the post said Spyder RT, buy had to chime in. 118 on a straight down hill section of I-65 in Kentucky. Think she might have went a little faster, the the wife was slapping my back to slow down!

 

[canamjhb]

A little over 90 while passing. I started to see my angle in the rear view so time to slow down.....

119MPH

I had Cocaine up to 119MPH. No wind on a flat section of the highway. I have a shorty windshield and I was hiding behind that. That was in 6th gear. Someone said that you can go faster in 5th gear as opposed to 6th. I haven't tried that out yet.

^^ The wind thing is pretty important for these things, blowing enough or the wrong way & it's like you've got all the washing hanging out behind, no chance of getting a true top speed out of it! :shocked:

MY thought "LIFE IS TO SHORT TO WASTE". ray:ray:ray: Little Blue

ER - UM - I lived in Canada for while - they sell gas by the liter up there. So $1.27 per liter works out to $4.81 per gallon

 

[Fire34]

That is For Sure

Had mine up to low 80's. Have no need to go faster. Life is short enough.

Reading all these posts I have to ask why? We have done some interstate only when we have to. So 65 is the fastest we have had ours. Life is way toooo short to worry about how fast we can go. We ride 2 up all the time, as we have had our midlife crisis we are going to enjoy life as much as we can for as long as we can. As a first responder you get to see exactly how short life can be. Be safe everyone

I had my 2014 Rt up to 90mph no problem she ran great purred like a kitten.

Windshield size

How fast has anyone had their RT ? Looking to find out what the top speed is . Just curious . :dontknow:

Do all RT's come with a windshield.? The size of the windshield could make a 10 mph difference
