Everyone please remember that the quads I tested are the quads I ride with every weekend and we are all setup for how we ride. Not dragracing.

When I'm topped out in 6th I'm going just shy of 60Mph but it feels like 90Mph.

My point is that I think alot of these guys are stating that there quad goes 90 because they feel like it is.


Maybe they mean Kph
LOL

I think major mods increase your acceleration more than your top speed. id rather be able to go 0-60 faster than the guy who has tall gears and can whoop me going 60-70. I dont think most quads go faster than 80 mph. MY LT250 is fully modded while still only being a true 246cc and i dont think it goes faster than 70 mph ,but it gets there damn fast.

omg im so glad im wearing boots I need them in here. There is no friggin way you guys are doing 80-90 on stock machines no way the mags say 60s to very low 70s on the stock banshee. I work at a dealership ive been there many years we sell all four major lines and I tell you what they just dont do those speeds. I tell you actually I might be wrong you just have to put some stickers on and add the red powerband lol.
