Yup, 74 mph is about it for stock gearing, which is what I am running. Most of the desert racing around here is really tight and technical, and I haven't needed higher gearing, so I haven't changed it. On the last race though, they had a road called "WFO Road", where you just hold it wide open for about 6 miles. I got top ended big time by a geared up DS 650, LOL. I'll bet his top speed was 20 mph faster than mine. YFZs can get a little squirrely in the top end of fifth gear though, so I'm not sure I would want too much more speed.
