I've heard of people reaching speeds of over 45 MPH with the 850. Its nuts.</end quote></div>

I'm wondering if that post was serious or not? My 95 400 will hit 45 WAY before it is at top speed. I have never had the guts (or the long straight stretch) to see what it's top speed is, but it is more than 45. I don't know much about ATV's... is 45 fast for an ATV (or a 400)? It didn't shock me, but I am used to my motorcycle, which can get to 100 before I even notice I'm speeding.

Government limits atv's to go past 80mph.Your 400,which I have the same motor in my quad should run low to mid 50's.

That sounds about right.

 

Now I heard from a guy who heard from a guy who heard from his cousin's third cousin's step uncle that it'll run 122mph up hill with 27 inch tires.

 

I had mine up too 72 today,it was still climbing but I got to thinking about something bad happening and backed out of it.I had a rear wheel on an Arctic Cat pass me up once(lucky I was only going approx. 10mph then) I think I'll leave the top end to the young invinceble guys.. lol

 

Once I start getting close to 50, it's time to go get the car.

I can't think of anywhere in the world that both:
a) requires a quad to get there (car can't do it) and
b) I need to be there so quickly that I need to go faster than 50 mph.

One or the other, sure, but never both.

 

OK, I know that they come with 14" shoes and those BIG brakes, but 80 MPH is a bit insane!

 

Not sure on the 850, but I pulled 78 (verified on squad car radar) out of my 800.
