Default New ATV Sport Says YFZ 61mph top speed!

Hey guys. I was reading ATV sport ( or atv something) And it had a shootout, YFZ, ATC450, and Preditor ( i think another quad..) but it said the YFZ topped out at 61.5 MPH, and Preditor did 63mph, and the ATC450 did like 62.... Im tryin to tell my friend that thats insane, the YFZ does like 74mph, but he thinks otherwise.. Tell me im right??? i read it like 100 times and it says they were clocked with a radar gun.

Want to hear the most unbelievable thing?


ATV magazines dont always tell the complete 100% truth, and their main objective is to sell copies of their issues and everything else is supporting of that.

If the time was there I would document them all but I honestly lost count of the misprints, errors, and flat out lies I have seen printed.

Seen some totally biased tests, wording that purposely made things appear exactly opposite than they really are, articles written without any investigating of the claims made, and even straight up lies too.

So dont believe everything you read or even see because God gave you a brain for a reason and one of them was to question things and figure out stuff for yourself.

Now go exercise that brain and find all the BS in that pile of old issues you have [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
