HOW MANY MEMBERS DON'T CARE WHICH QUAD IS THE FASTEST?
I don't really care which quad is fastest either. I trail ride in the woods and race harescrambles, and for the most part you are lucky if you get out of 3rd gear.. That kind of racing isn't really about who has the fastest quad - it is more who has the best suspension setup and who is the best at picking good lines. Sure, I have a Quadzilla and it is fast, but in the woods it sucks compared to my 250R... it is good for hillclimbing though.. but there again it isn't a matter of how fast your quad is as much as how much power you have to pull the hill.. Torque is the name of the game there...
I used to post and read messages over on one of the other forums (source) but stopped going over there as much because I was tired of sifting through all of those "which quad is fastest" and "what is the top speed of brands A, B, and C" and goofy stuff like that. I think that bugged me as much as the whole name calling and flaming that was going on which it seems like every post like that ends up that way.

i aggree that i think that who is fastest or who would win gets overplayed quite a bit. We just out there to have fun right. however even me can get a little competitive when ice racing season comes around and i probably will even more when i actually have a read quad to race with. but really in the end even racing is for fun so we shouldn't get to excited over who had more hp or is fastest in a drag but just go out and have fun and ride hard. peace

Me. I just want to have fun. I like speed, but I don't have anything to prove by having the fastest quad. Skill is more important. It usually comes down to "who has more money to spend on making their quad really fast". Impressive. I have enough fun on my stock quad, and money to spend on better things (not knocking mods, just the "who's fastest" stuff). Chalk up one more.

I started this Thread, because I am amazed at how a majority of the members of this Forum feel that the only use for an ATV is to Race it. The problem is that a Majority of ATV riders NEVER race in any kind of sanctioned event. Just about everyone at one time or another has raced a buddy or some guy at the local riding area, but this is hardly a serious to the death competition.
I have what I consider to be two fairly fast quads, a KFX700 and a KFX400, both are stock, and with the exception of a Pipe for the 400 in the near future (Partly for the sound, and partly to give me a little more gitty-up for the BIG Hill Climbs at the Dunes.), they will remain Stock. I ride with my Family, which includes my Wife, Nieces, Nephews, Brothers, Parents and a lot of Friends. It is a Family function for us, with all makes and models of Quads, some fast, some not so fast. In this type of environment, having a Quad that will rotate the earth is MEANINGLESS.
I have driven some Very Fast cars in my life, and in the grand scheme of things, in the world of Speed these ATV's are way down near the bottom of a very long list.
At the end of the day, all that matters is that we all had FUN and that we all made it back in one piece.
