Narrative:
This was leg #3 of 3; the last flight of the 2 day trip. We had a little over 2 hour sit in ZZZ. It was the first officer's leg. Our trip was going smoothly; and our CRM was going well for our trip. The first officer programmed the FMC and I checked it. The first officer programmed an NAPD2; 'L3' climb he put clean maneuvering speed/ 3;000 AGL in the L3 speed restriction; but left the L2 restriction at the econ speeds. (Forgot to put '250' to restrict the speed after 3;000 feet in the L2 position). During my pre-flight; I checked the climb page; but didn't notice the omission. Taxi and takeoff were uneventful. Sometime passing around 6;000 feet; I noticed our airspeed to be approximately 280 kts. I called out 'airspeed.' the first officer corrected the deviation by climbing faster. We debriefed the error once we got to cruise. He made the programming error; and I missed it on my review. On climbout; he followed the VNAV guidance and sped up; and I didn't notice the increase until later. With these very light weights we are operating at; the airplane handles differently. There is a normal nose-down cue when we accelerate to climb speed passing 10;000 feet. I didn't feel any such pronounced nose down event...and I was surprised to see the speed that high.

Title: Air carrier flight crew reported experiencing a speed deviation during departure.
Narrative: This was leg #3 of 3; the last flight of the 2 day trip. We had a little over 2 hour sit in ZZZ. It was the FO's leg. Our trip was going smoothly; and our CRM was going well for our trip. The FO programmed the FMC and I checked it. The FO programmed an NAPD2; 'L3' climb he put clean maneuvering speed/ 3;000 AGL in the L3 speed restriction; but left the L2 restriction at the ECON speeds.
