I was wondering how many miles you are getting to a tank of gas,and what the top speed is after it is broke in.I understand that there is a big difference once they are broke in.
Thanks!!!

I have about 600 miles on mine and it will run around 55 mph , I think I could go around 60 or 65 miles on a tank , but not real sure on that. Have a good day

I just bought my rubicon a few weeks ago. I rode this past weekend and i got 70 miles to the tank. but the fastest i could go was 50. i think once that it is broken in it will do better in both. But other than that i think that the ruby is a great machine

Thanks guys I have been told that,when new the machine will only go about 20-30 miles on a tank,I thought that it should do better then that.I also was told that the machine broke in it would do more than 65 mph-this was apparently done on radar. Sounds crazy!

Someone "officially" rated the gas mileage of the Rubi at 21-22 MPG. That seems to be about right. As for the top speed, Honda claims it to be 55 mph. I still don't believe that ATV speedometers are all that accurate, but that's just an opinion.

I did buy a Rubicon and so for I like it.So far it seems alittle hard a gas-I had a 2000 TRX 350s before.I have 200 Km on it or 123 miles and it already hits top end of 92 km or approx 57 mph I am pretty impressed with that.

Our Rubicon's hit 88km fairly easly and up on a good long hill we hit 99km then as it goes to hit the 100 mark it is governed by the tranny and the dash starts to flash till you turn the key on and off.

As with anyhting, the mpg will vary greatly with different conditions, but don't count on it being really good on gas.
