I have one already buck. I just wanted to know if anyone used a gps or anything to see what it tops out at. :rolleyes:

I've heard 2 different people on here say 78 mph one of them used a gps.

nahh man, not even close, if that thing goes 78 then it would blow the tires off the yfz. It probably tops out at like.... a logical guess would have to be 70ish..

Why would you say it wouldn't top out at 78. The 400ex tops out at 67 and the Raptor at 73. I did hear it had a really high top speed also but I don't know.:blah:

unless you drag it doesnt really matter, it matters if it will get around a finish line before somthing else does.....

I have an HMF full system on mine with a 150 main jet, 118 is stock. I had it going 78.5 MPH on a smooth dirt road. It still had something left but it was getting unstable so I backed off. That is the reading from my Garmin GPS III mounted to the handlebars.

I would say 75 or so, It feels faster than my old piped Raptor

If that reading is correct that is fast! Let's get some confirmation guys!

All I can say is DAM! :D :D

[r450rr]

all i can say is, i rode my friends today.. and omg.. i believe. it feels like its going to fly away. when u pinn it, ur eyes are watering through the gears. i cant wait until mine comes in and it should be in tomar... shew i really do believe.. atleast 75..

my ex will do about 68 and it feels like it will eat it i mean eat it:devil:

I've done the math on the gearing - speeds in excess of 75mph are entirely possible with stock gearing.

This is good - because with the tall 1st gear, this means you will be able to gear down and still have plenty on the top end.

Mine does 100MPH!! Who Cares, FINISH LINE is what counts
