Our house. It is probably a total of two hours for you. The one wall on this gravel pit is about three football fields almost straight up. There are 40 table tops at the track, 50 ft. doubles, plenty of triples. It is definitely a B+ rider experience level. You can get hurt easy. If you are game let me know.

my 450R is geared down with a 13 tooth front sprocket and in the 1/8th mile i ran a 8.905 ET @ 70.09 mph. i wasnt quite topped out, top speed is probably 72. i know with the stock 14 tooth sprocket it should do somewhere around 78-80 mph.

No quad from Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, or Kawasaki can break the 75mph barrier out of the box without breaking the mutual agreement between all 4 companies that they agreed to in 1986.

It's not a law, and any of those manufacturers CAN build a quad to break those speeds and not be in any legal problems. The same thing applied to the weight limit of 600lbs,....and Honda is still the only one that abides by that agreement. the others have been inching past 600lbs a bit more each year with their big-bore 4x4s.

There has never been any radar runs showing any quad made by the Japs breaking 75mph despite what the guy who ran along side of his dad's Bronco on the interstate said. That's why some quads are geared much lower than they need to be. Take the Bruteforce and Grizzly 660 for example. Both are geared waaaay lower than necessary for any utility work. Could you imagine taller final drive ratios on those things?? Scary thought.
