    I would say thats normal. We got 72 out of a Grizzly 660 once. the guy riding it didnt weigh much more than a cold beer though.

    Yeah, it causes you to use waaaay too many smilies, spell things wrong and use generally bad punctuation and grammar...lmao.

    JUST KIDDING DUDE!! That's good info to have if I ever decide to challenge a KQ that is having an identity crisis.

    Kq

    On the return ride up the Strip it did 68 with the wind in my Face. The dealer said it would do 70MPH so I figured I would see for myself. I didnt realize how the King Quad rides like a Sport Quad. They shouldnt put a motor like that in a 4x4 Quad. It makes you ride crazy and catch air on a 600 Lb + Quad
    She flies real nice in the Air and the suspension soaks up anything. I rolled it with only 1 hr on it. Riding like I was on the new Quadracer

    it rolls easy. not like the sport quad w/the live rear axle. I have a 700kfx and my neighbor has a rincon 650, and man I tried to slide a corner and I thought I was going to fall off that thing. all 4 wheels were on the ground but so were the left fenders. it takes some getting use too. all that independent suspension stuff.
    YES its fast,
    NO you cant ride it
