Sportsman 800 top speed?
Can any of you out there with stock 800s tell me what the top speed for your ride is? I bought a new 800 touring and after breaking it in for 10hr I finally decided to find out last weekend. I was not happy with what I found. The engine RPM seems to max out at about 3/4 throttle if that, and top speed was about 55mph. The 500 H.O. I traded in would run that fast. Granted the 800 gets there a lot quicker but something still doesn't seem right.

Yep....I've said it before and I'll say it again...accelration and top speed are measures of power available...not every one throws their machine on a dyno....but most of us like to know what a machine is capable of....I bet more people check top speed than do not...especially if they upgraded to a larger engine...we may not need the speed,accelration and power on a regular basis..but we WANT it and we pay for it.....I may not go fast often..but I know I can if I need to
