Mine does 95-100 I have clocked it by the pressure of the wind on my goggles. Oh you meant not 5th pinned down Sand Mountain? 69mph w/ 13 tooth. 73 w/14 tooth front

I would tell your dad to take that Durango back to the dealer cause his speedo is way off , unless the green light was on just above your key and you were going down a hill..

O.k. how old is the guy with the Durango story, you must be under sixteen to have come up with that stuff or are just trying to be funny. Anyways I weigh 207lbs and I hit 66 to 68 consistently, if I'm behind my brothers truck or wifes car I can hit 69 sometimes. This is on pretty even, no incline or decline, paved country road.

65-70 depending on rider weight.

I was riding besides my dad's car. I weigh 227.7 pounds(weighed myself on the UPS scale today) and i had it wide open and i hit 66 and it didn't move.

SO its fits in the average....

I wish the Raptor was in the 80's. Stock, mine does 75 according to the local popo's radar.

the only way a z400 will do 80 is if it was in the back of a truck. Why don't you come back to reality.

whats the big deal about top speed, the only time you will go that fast for any length of time is in the open desert and if that is where most of your riding is then the Z is the wrong choice, just remeber its not the fastest rider that wins the race



just a thought
i agree ive had mine for over a year now and topped out 3 times total 2 in the same day and the dealer told me it goes about 60-65 stock

If your Z would only do 60 I woul take it back and demand a refund. My Vinson 500 auto has done 61.1 on my Garmin GPS on a staight flat road. My Buddies Z hit 69.6 with my Gps on the same road. That guy with the 02' Grizzly that hit 69mph is full of S**T if his Grizz is mostly stock! Every Grizz we tested never hit more than 63.8mph. The most reliable way to test MPH is by a GPS. Followed by laser then Radar. Or of course if you go to an IHRA or NHRA drag stip.
