Speed!!!!!!!!!!

(ATC) 3 wheelers where already banned from sales before the Quadzilla attack. Any how I was talking ATVS , NOT ATCS. ATCs got banned for simialer reasons, but before the shights got set on ATVS. Just like motorcycles. Look how common streetbikes are now. They have a higher sales rate than th U.S. has a divorce rate.

Also ATV seals increased when ATC where banned. No more new ATC to compete with.I also said early 1990's not mid to wanna late Eighties. Correct me if I wrong but ATC were banned in 1985 or 1986 for new sales in the US.

no your right the atc's were banned in the mid 80's....i was just saying that the trike also had a toll in lowering the overall intrest and sales juring those times... too many people got killed on those things cuz there nuts.... ..

Careless and Dumba$$ Sounds better. Almost ruined it for the rest of us ATVers. Like Honda says" Stupid Hurts". That is pretty much an understatement.

The downfall of ATCs did help the sale of atvs. Ten yours of little or no changes didn't help either.

But look at the selection we have now. I don't care who you are, there is a selection of atvers.Still miss 3 wheelers. Yamaha, Honda, and Kawasaki had some awsome 2 stroke 3 wheelers. Plus 300 LBS and under weight was nice to.

Thanks B.B. I wasn't sure.

Not a problem. Makes me fill like I'm 14 again.

[trailblazer_02]

a 3 wheeler beating a quad is a given..its almost the same thing as putting a quad against a dirtbike.

[dirtdevil96]

I don't know if it's true but the local AC dealer said the new ThunderCat1000 will do 85mph in 4x4.I was riding with a buddy who has a Prairie 650(has speedometer)and I know my stock DVX400 will do at least 65.It wasn't maxed out yet;the same dealer said the DVX'll do around 70-75.Has anyone installed a Trailtech speedometer/tachometer?I'm thinking about getting one and want to know how difficult it is to install.

[trailblazer_02]

you need to find a new dealer than

no quad is supposed to go over 80 stock.

From what I've seen, a Z400, let alone DVX400 cannot hang with my 450. The TRX450 will top out stock around 72-75mph. I really don't see a DVX400 going 70-75mph:no:

Depend how yo gear it with the sprokets.Stock Probably won't.

Who told you no quad was supposed to go over 80?Your PoPo dealer or your "other"dealer?:rolleyes:I've seen Banshees go over 100.You're not "supposed" to do some of the things you do but you still do them right?I rest my case.

I think you have the size=faster way of thinking.Maybe there was something wrong with the one Z400 you ran against?Maybe it had lower gearing that limited the top end?Maybe I have one of the few that were extra fast stock?Since you've never ridden with me you really don't know.

[trailblazer_02]

thats why i said STOCK

a banshee wont do 100 stock.

and i dont have a popo dealer just because i own a polaris.

i bought it used.

my real dealer sells every brand except arctic cat.

and they sell dirtbikes,jetskis,motercycles and UTVs

So you're telling me a stock DVX400 does over 70mph. All the 450's stock do about 70-75. I'm not thinking bigger=faster, I'm thinking quad built for racing vs. a quad built for trails. It is all about the gearing. I don't doubt the DVX is capable of hitting 75mph. Just not stock.

ATV Top Speeds

[mywifeknowseverythin]

[mywifeknowseverythin]

Pulled this from another site.....

Where I live at in West Virginia, each year I have a thing called Open ATV week. Anyone can bring their ATV if it's stock and run it down a 1/3 of a mile stretch and someone is standing at the end with a radar gun to get their top speed. This year, this is what our radar picked up...and yes these atvs where stock.

Raptor 700 - 76 mph

Raptor 660 - 72 mph

Raptor 350 - 61 mph

Banshee 350 - 72 mph

Predator 500 - 74 mph

YFZ 450 - 73 mph

TRX 450R - 74 mph

Bombardier DS650 - 75 mph

Honda 400 EX - 68 mph

damn, go preddy.

keepin up with the big bores..

[Stoopidbot1]

I would love to show the Yamaha pricks at ATVFAN the YFZ's top speed and the TRX's top speed. In one month I'm heading out to Rabbit Valley, Co. There are plenty of stretches of trail that I can definitly hit my top speed. I plan on mounting my GPS to my bars so I can see how fast I can go! I'm thinking about 77.

Don't hold back about ATVFAN. Tell us what you think of them there pricks.

[Stoopidbot1]

I have nothing ahainst anybody personally over there, but I'm just sick of hearing how nothing can beat a Can-am. And how Yamaha is gods gift to quads. I'm in love with Honda. That doesn't mean I don't like other manufacters. Everyone over there seems to think I'm very biased because I love my Honda. I'm sick of hearing nothing but how Can-am has set the new standard. I happened to have said that I heard the DS450 has a narrow seat, that opened up a whole new can of worms. I hate closed minded people. Thanks Buck Billy! I needed that.

[trailblazer_02]

haha yeah now they wont shut up about a 1000cc canam sidexside. i wish polaris or yamaha or honda would come out with something so kick as* canam would never keep up. lol that might shut em' up

You forgot about Roody and the Brute Force 650 being the King 4x4 and the Kodiak 450 when he owned that. Not that I'm seeing a trend. Also banned for six months for questioning Tenny and BANNED forever for aiming to many questions at him.
