    Cant trust a Ford for an accurate measurement either. Especially a Taurus. I ran next to a polaris 400 sportsman that said 62 everytime. What does top speed matter anyways...the fun is getting there.

    it is hard to answer this question because of geographical differences. I am in Dallas Texas and my neighbors 06 Rincon has gps and a speedometer and according to that his rincon will run 68. I can outrun him on the 350X I have and the only mods are the baffle removed and aftermarket razor tires still 22 inch tires and I only beat him by about 2-3 miles per hour. And I have stock gearing. I am sure different tires and different sprockets will make a bigger difference. So like I said it is hard to answer this querstion. Even stock and in different locations results will vary.

    WTF are you smoking OHD, 60 MPH in california is still 60 MPH in japan. Location will make no diffrence on speed, that is defently one of the stupidest things ive ever read on line. If you notce klondike says its in the back of a truck, your just dumb.

    Learn what the *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* you are talking about before you open that mouth of yours. So you are telling me that in the high elevation of colorado that a 350x will run the same as a bike in california? If that is what you think then you have no idea what in the *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* you are talking about. Do you not know anything at all about elevation? Above and below sea level? Just shut up and let people with some sense answer the question.

    So whats this big deal about top speeds anyways. If its fast its fast. Id rather beat a faster bike than the one I got rather than whipping on a slower one any day. The trick here is to learn to ride what you got and never let off on the throttle. A 350x can beat aq 400ex in the woods any day any where if you are a better rider!! Thats my 2 cents.

    Drive fast, Die quick. Who wants to linger!

    Show me ANYTHING that says that location changes speed. Altitude dosnt change speed, nothing does. Altitude may make an engine run better but as long as it can rev out the top speed is not going to change.

    Um then why do pitcher in at Coors Field in Colorado throw a higher average speed faster than anyother field in baseball? Its because the air is thinner and the baseball moves faster. Same thing with homeruns there.

    Then why in the hell would Nascar and NHRA and everyone else out there spend millions of dollars on research to analyze track conditions, weather conditions, elevation??? Maybe you need to pay more attention to racing.

    Are you saying that elevation has nothing to do with speed? Its laws of physics about elevation and density of air masses. And I am a harcore NASCAR fan too.

    No i am saying that elevation has everything to do with speed. NOS 350x is the one that says it has nothing to do with speed.
