I believe it is just about as fast as the fx400 which DW says will go 74 mph. Whether or not thats true, I don't know but thats what DW says.

You know, Cannondale comes out with this innovative quad, and all people care about is how fast it goes. Personally, unless I had some serious amounts of cash to throw around, I wouldn't buy a Cannondale just to drag race, nor would I buy a 4-Stroke for that particular application.

This is kind of off topic, but Dirtwheels said the FX400 was the fastest in the July shoot-out with a top speed of 74 MPH. If I remember correctly, there was a website that copied a DirtWheels mag word for word on a shoot-out of the 2 strokes back in the 80's. They said the banshee had a top speed of 87 MPH. I don't think something could lose so much power that was changed so little.

Well, thats Dirt Wheels for ya. I like a lot of the info they give but sometimes you gotta double check the things they say. I lost a lot of respect for them when they complained about the music in Huevos IV. If your watchin some bad *** riders flying through the air, you don't wanna listen to them playing Enya, or Britney Spears, or what ever in the hell they listen to over there at the DW offices. Some good ol' head bangin and breakin stuff is the perfect tool to get you all hyped up and ready to go riding. When I'm driving to races, I got the music (Rock music) as loud as possible and I can barely hear myself think. That'll get some energy in ya. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Yea, they complain about the music in all the Huevos videos. I only own Huevos 2 but the music is great, most of it anyway. They probably like Garth Brooks or some other country crap(sorry, if you like it, good for you, but I can't stand it) I guess I just proved my point to myself, we all like different music.
