I have witenessed a race between a 500 Magnum and a Warrior. On take-off the Warrior smoked it, but once they were both topped out it was pretty close (the Warrior still being a little bit faster). The 500 H.O. Sportsman is supposed to be a fair amount faster than the 500 Magnum so I think there is a good chance that it would win on top end.

Just FYI on the same GPS that you have the Garmin Etrex my 99 SP 500 will go 57 to 59 MPH. . The Speedometer reads 65 {which is past the 60 MPH speedometer and is pointing almost straight down} maybe that is why CornDog thinks 65 but then again the SP 500 HO is suppose to have 20% more power. I have never tried to race a Warrior with it so I am not sure how the race would come out. Down hill paved road I have hit 67 MPH on my GPS which is way to fast on a Sportsman. My friend has a Grizzly 600 and ever time we have raced it was side by side all the way to top speed then I can just barely edge away from him. So if you have raced a Grizzly that might give you a idea against a Non HO SP 500.
