I had mine at 69mph, on the road, with alot of room. It got to 63 or so pretty fast but then it needed some room to top out. I also hit 66 in 4x4 racing a banshee, I beat it. The field was rather wet and the banshee spun a little too much. It is bone stock, I weigh about 175lbs. This thing rocks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

98KM/hr almost all the time, hardpack gravel

 

I tucked one in my draft for about a mile of paved road, he was doing 68 constant and he couldnt get it faster.

I've had mine up to 65mph on a paved road. Gets to 60 quick though.

 

68 mph here according to the 650 speedometer right after my break-in period. Mode was 2X4 high gear. I rode on blacktop with stock tires. I have rack extenders on which may or may not affect wind resistance. I am 6'2" 200 lbs. The speedometer SLOWLY climbed from 62 to 68 mph.

got it up to 64 with stock tires
Now with 26 inch mudrunner will hit 58 mph
Me 6ft 210lbs

 

On a very hard pack dirt road, with very slight curves, I was able to reach 67 mph. I then turned around and road it back the opposite direction on the same stretch of road and hit 66 mph. I wanted to check the speed in both directions to get an average speed in case the road was not perfectly level. The road had a pretty long stretch with only slight curves in it, and then became too curvy to keep it at full throttle. But during the Simi straight length, I was able to obtain the above-mentioned speeds. I live in Las Vegas NV, and the elevation is around 2,300 feet. The temp was about 65 degrees F. I only weigh 145 lbs so that may help with me being able to reach these speeds. I wish I had several miles of straight flat road, to see if it would go even faster! My 650 is completely stock right down to the Dunlop tires, I had about 11 hours on it at the time, right after the first 10 hour service. I have since removed my racks, which lightens the 650 up by 22 lbs. I don't know if that will make a difference, but it sure cant hurt and I don't haul anything on the racks anyway. I think it makes the 650 look allot sportier. I got the idea after seeing Mike Penlands GNCC Prairie 650!

 

66 MPH. Stock....

 

105 km/h in 4x4 high on gravel road.stock and 190 lbs.
