I had mine to 95mph,only thing is,it was in the back of my pickup bed while traveling down the freeway.My speedo on my PU read 95mph.

A Honda Recon has a top speed of 45mph on a GOOD day.A Recon will outrun a KQ in ANY phase of a drag race.

You do the math?

Bill

No dusty! That didn't help... I want Bill to buy the Steaks... I want steak--I want steak... Come on! Your grill too, at your house... I'll bring the brew... And forget that Recon bit. It was a fix from the start and you know it!!!

Is it that time of the year for the KQ top speed question? Already?

I would have to agree with most that a stock KQ would be hard pressed to reach 55-60 without some extra mods. I'll stop short of saying it can't be done. I just think the 280cc and the 600# plus rider weight is asking a lot. One with bigger tires and I would have to say not. Mine will get up to 45 easily then stop...no more. I've got it up to about 48-49 before but it was a long haul and I believe a bit downwind and down hill. 55 down hill I've done once...that was more than I want. Going up a slight hill it'll hold 40 with the throttle pegged. I have front and rear racks and a small tool box added to mine, probably about 40#. I go 185#. Plus I usually keep the tires on the softer side.

Now as far as the satellites being incorrect...Bill. Well I guess there are some cruise missles still flying around lost somewhere.

Rob

Too-shae Rob! Bill? Get those coals on the grill before you start looking for the missles... My man... He is bad to the bone. Nice home made grill too. Are you going to invite the others too or you gonna eat six to my one again? OK, he can't eat six to my one steak. Or----?

Chuck,
I talked to Eric Baatz yesterday while riding Bull Gap,he also was in full agreement with me.He said 45 mph top end was the normal for a stock KQ.Going down a hill at 55mph HARDLY constitutes the correct top speed on ANYTHING,muchless a KQ.Heck,even Robn H says 45 and it would do no more till he went downhill.

I would'nt get your mouth watering for the steaks just yet?I'll keep it interesting though.You show me a STOCK KQ that will accurately radar 55mph and I'll buy you a fresh 100.00 box of YOUR favorite steaks.If I win,YOU buy me a steak dinner at the steakhouse of YOUR choice?

''better be figuring which steak house your going to take me to''?

Bill

Hey guys it would be great if we could just get 45mph out of his KQ.There always someone that thinks theirs is faster than normal,we would just like to be normal.Thanks Daryl

00 king quad top speed???
