markbanger,

Why the interest in top speed?

I ask this because this topic seems to come up allot in atv forums. I for one could care less but it seems to be a very HOT question with allot of people so I was just wondering why you ask. Thanks

i took mine out today and held it on the longest straitaway i could find and when i had it wide open in 5th gear for what seemed like forever i looked down at the speedo and it said57 or 58 mph not sure with all viberating it was doing but i would say that was it. maybe if i had another mile it would hit 60 but i'll never know that was plenty fast enuff for me. i have a mini tach on mine and it said it was 5860 rpms at that speed.so shes screeming alright.
