Simple Math, miles per hour

[BRPjunkie]

A discussion about service after 10 hours and 345 miles in another thread raises a question. What are owners seeing as average speed based on dividing miles by hours. At 2,110 miles and 62 hours, I am at 34 miles per hour. Not surprising considering my driving pattern. To get much higher, you must be a freeway freak, lower you must be a city slicker.

We have 31 here. Must be city slickers, or just avoid freeways most of the time.

Well don't forget to take off 10 minutes per day that you have riden since you got the machine for letting it warm up. I say 10 minutes because it takes me 5 min in the morning and 5 min in the afternoon to let it warm up to 1 bar on the temp guage.

Start Spyder, put on helmet, jacket, gloves, go inside get wallet, back out, back in for cell phone, one bar by end of street. I don't see the one bar warm up in the owners guide, but I think that has been suggested to avoid engine hesitation issues. I have not had those problems and often set out after three minute warm up.

The initial 10 hours were pampered riding because of the break in/learning curve and yes I avoided highways as much as possible. MPH should rise alot now.

 

[sleepman]

3,912.8 miles and 79.4 hours, so I'm a tad over 49 mph.

12,139 miles / 289 hours

It's the answer to life, the universe and everything. If you don't know this, bugger off.

:shocked:

 

[BRPjunkie]

You high miles per hour guys must live on the freeway, not stop at traffic signals or break the speed limit. Or maybe all of the above.

 

[daddydarko]

Bah, it doesn't count if you have less than 12,138 miles.

Noobs.

19365 miles / 364.6 hours = 53.1 mph
A lot of the miles were on the Alaskan Highway. Had to slow down with the rain and the rear tire hydroplaning. :doorag:

[bjt]

10696.9 miles at 268.5 hours. 39.84 MPH average. I guess that sounds about right to me as I've taken three long, expressway riding trips but most of my everyday riding is in the city at 55 MPH or less, stop and go.

 

[Roadkill]

+I'm up to 57.0365 mph at 3119.9 miles...

Ride on.
