Your top speed on Spyder?

[Firefly]

On my 2008 GS...been up in the 115 range plenty of times. Up to 126 a few times.. according to the speedometer.. which we all know is far too enthusiastic about your real speed. In the real world via GPS I'd say around 117-119 tops for me.

Had my RT up to 105 a few times.

Pretty smooth ride at those speeds.

Can't remember what Doc's official Salt Flats speed was.. but that's a far more accurate measurement than us hitting 115 for a few seconds on the highway....

Got to 104 in a mile stretch. Was rather disappointed. But that was when it just had 300 miles on it. Have no idea if it would do better now but I sorta doubt it. It appeared to be all in.

95 mp, and that all I need for speed,on my spyder RTS I have other toy for that.

Doc hit 118 in the quarter-mile at the Spyderfest Drags. He has the paperwork to prove it. He got much faster in Bonneville. Of course he was Turbocharged.
I was able to hit 120 on a flat deserted road in Nevada south of Ely. I think I had a bit of a tail wind.

The 2012 RT-S...not so much...

115 MPH pretty much maxed out with the tall touring shield, three stuffed hard cases and my fat behind on it.

 

[jerpinoy]

No wonder 200 mph on the speedometer on my dreams:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:.

The RS saw triple digits this weekend.. two-up, passing a string of cars at 7,000ft. elevation. I have no doubts it will do more.

 

[wilfredopr]

I hit 120mph, but that was before the aerocharger. I haven't have the chance to try it again.

 

[bscrive]

I guess that's why BRP put 200kph speedometers on.

Thanks for posting this oldie but goodie. Brings back some memories and very appropriate. :thumbup:

105 MPH

I took it to 105 mph once then backed it down. Fast enough for me.
