really? Can you show some sort of documnetation or something stating that it is illegal? Or is it just hear-say from the interenet? Maybe a "gentlemans agreement" for the manufacturers? Is it CPSC (?) rule?

I've <EM>heard</EM> that it's illegal, doesn't mean it is [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Look some of you guys are getting the wrong picture. YES, the CPSC limits all quads manufactured to obtain an under 75MPH top speed. BUT, the simple fact is NOT EVERY stock 450 made goes the exact same speed. not every stock raptor will go the same speed. This goes for all quads. Every quad is different and there are many factors that will effect top end speed on every quad. My DS will go about 77 at the rev limiter, when someone with the exact same thing could only go 71 at the limiter, and someone else could even hit close to 80! They're all different but that don't give any excuse for the bull$hitters on here to claim "my stock Banshee goes 85 EASY" and "I had my brothers Raptor going 90 and I wasn't even WOT." Now there's just no excuse for people with a low intelligence level to be claiming these fictional #'s, but most of the time it's just young kids that REALLY can't determine the different between 80-90-100+MPH but think "oh but it'll be cool to say it goes 90MPH because it sure feels like it!" And then you got the group that just think it will be cool exaggerate these #'s to make themself feel better because they feel the need to be the higherarchy of the rest or something. You guys know what I'm talking about right?

Ya I know what you mean by that. I've taken my friend across the field on my sled and he says "I swear we must have been at least going 150" (KMPH) but he's only saying that because it felt like that. Once your moving really really fast, it is very hard to determine the speed as your brain can't process it. Anyways, my sled's speedometre is fixed so Is hould see how fast it can go now[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

ATV Sport March 2004 radar runs from CA.

DS 70.49mph
Predator 67.61
Raptor 66.36
V-Force 63.39

Depending on climate, results may vary. Totally stock machines.

What do you mean by "fast" anyways? The YFZ accelerates faster then the Raptor, but overall the top speed on the Raptor is "faster".

Who cares about top speed anyway!? How often are you even going top speed and even if you are its only a for couple of seconds! I'd rather have a quick bike than a fast bike...just my .02...
