on pavement I have hit 64 but it will do more when I can grow some *****. That was on the lightest suspension setting. Id say it could easily do 70. it has 300 miles and around 20 hours. I recently but a hitch and a rear box on the back. I put my butt at the front of the box floor it for half a second or so and it balances pretty well doing a wheelie. The hitch drags when it stands straight up so I haven't turned it over yet. It seems to only catch traction well on grass. I have gone 100ft or doing a wheelie. I'll try to put a vid on youtube the next couple of weeks.

There was video link recently posted on this forum that had the rider driving with one hand and he held a camera on the speedo with the other..... he backed off when he hit 79!! He said he still had more but a dog came out at him. I am still a wuuus on mine.... I also say let the speed come to you meaning that as you get more comfortable with vehicle what ever it is the increase in speed will increase with that comfort. So yep .... a big wuuus for now!

The limiting factor on ATVs are there ballon tires with only 5 psi air pressure in them,great for off road, bad for high speed. I feel more comfortable doing 85 MPH with one hand on the bars on my snowmobile than doing 55 MPH with two clenched hands on the bar on my ATV. LOL

I think thats why AC,Yamaha and Polaris do not put there 750 twin 120HP 4 stroke motor from there sled in there ATVs as well, can you say law suits. LOL
