Top speed 38.5 on radar. Go to atvnews.com. and read about project Recon. With a pipe, K@N fiter,jet kit,racks removed,alum.wheels and better tires it could only do 42.2 mph. I think 46 mph stock is streching it quite a bit..

46 sounds about right. The top speed on my Bayou 220 is 44. (clocked with my speedometer). and the Recon is faster than the Bayou, at least I think it is . it should be anyways, but every quad is different.

This is a good reason not to believe everything you read. If this mag only could go 38 MPH on a stock Recon, that bike had a problem. Also, the power kit will NOT increase top speed. Unless it wasn't running right in the first place....
