    yea those big bore brutes can put it down! one reason 4 wheel drive!! more power to the dirt! we have a couple of big talkers around here, I told them if they could keep up with me on the trails then there deffinity baddass! so i gave them a head start and within a minute I had to cut around them to get by them! then left them in the dust! but in a straight line they can cook! they'll catcha off guard and make you look sissy, but jsut remind them they have 700-800cc's and lost $7000 dollars to be just as fast as a 25 year old 1000 dolar 250cc trike!! that usually piss's them right off!

    Yeah they are definatly fast in a straight line and accelleration. Just saw a canam 800 beating yfzs, raptors, and 450rs today at the drag races. It even beat a full on drag cannondale speed 440. But in a straight stretch almost any of the quads there would beat it.

    couple pics of the things it beat. I never saw this serious of drag racers in pa either.

    It was kind of funny though that the only thing that beat the 800 was the "stock" looking purple banshee behind the raptor . But the mildly worked 250r put up a great fight too, just spun too much at take off to really get a good launch.
