I actually am really not into speed. Just for a 500 I was expecting more... The trails I ride on you are lucky to hit anything over 20! The AC I rode did really well in the technical trails and hill climbs, and I rarely saw 1 tire in the air. It is just that sometimes it is fun to feel the engines power....

 

if you wanted to feel the power ride the manual. big differance in the feel of power.
