Did BRP do this just to confuse us?

I won't say where or when but my 2010 RT riding 1 up has seen 115 MPH and still had some throttle left.

:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: The Spyder does not have a chip to limit the top speed, or programming in the ECU. It does have a rev limiter that works in all the gears. As I recall, the theoretical top speed when I calculated it was south of 140...but the Spyder hasn't the horsepower to overcome the wind resistance and get to max rpm in high gear.

I use the most time the KMs/Hour - on my very first GS there was no "limiter" for the top speed - but they changed the software - now she limits the maximum RPMs (only) in the 5th gear ... my RT with the smaller shield / without the flaps / lying on the Tank - is not able to come over 173kmh/ 106 mpH ... don`t ask how much fuel she used for this "tests"

There is a nut that can limit the speed............it's on the seat!

The rpm limiter works in any gear... I've bounced off of mine (9200) a couple of times while running up through them in a spritely fashion...

I know I have a lot of riding yet to do but you have to have so much confidence in your vehicle/spyder and your own skills to drive that fast. Scary part is they all have one common factor...human beings, so they could fail at any time! :yikes:

Just wait until I get my Flux capacitor hooked up... :thumbup:

I wouldn't try that either....

...wait a minute, didn't I just see where you set some type of speed record in Florida??? Lol, well at least you were on a track in a controlled environment...well kind of controlled.

Bob- the return policy on this one is unbeatable. :roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

I know... Just return it and take the cash back BEFORE you ever buy it! :shocked:
They've got to fix that loophole... :roflblack:

I don't have a gps, but I rode beside my wife in her Expedition. My digital gauge was saying 81mph, and her truck was reading 74mph. Anyone else's spyder over-shoots the speed reading?...

I surely hope not. First, I find out the 200mph is just kph, now you tell me that when I see 80mph it really is 75mph. BRP is killing my buzz with this one. Lol

Per my GPS, my :ani29: speedo is off by about 3 MPH (reads less than GPS reading).

 

[Bob Denman]

Mine is only off by 1 mph at 50...
(radar tested...)

 

[Star Cruiser]

i had my RS ('08) up to 200 kph. I haven't been able to get my 2012 RT past 175kph. BUT oh the comfort factor makes it soooo worth it!

My RT reads 2 mph faster than actual mph at all speeds above 50mph.
