I have yet to find what top speed is on this machine, anyone know who tested?

Only rumors from the setup man at brimestone. He claimed its governed at 90
Just watched a video Todd that 4 nines posted. It takes off and makes first shift at 18 mph. Not sure what gear he starts in, it appears to be first.
In one of the videos an engineer says its governed at 78. But I've seen three different people say it tops out at 90....
The way one of the reviews was written, I assumed someone on this forum had ridden in one or drove one and would know

Thinking ahead on getting by one if it has one

I'd like to know as well, not that it really matters... but I am curious.

Thinking 90 too. But once the ECU is reflashed, all bets are off the table, LOL!

Be nice to have something that could cruise at 70 instead of running too hard

I bet the tranny will allow this car to run that speed pretty easily
Yes, I think you can cruise in this machine at about any speed
Yep 90 is what they told me at brimstone.just got back from there a little while ago. The machine is bad ass.!!!!!!!

I'm doubting 90.
78 would be a great number. Anything above that is a bonus.
THE YAMAHA GUY AT THE BRIMSTONE EVENT SAID HE TOOK IT TO 90mph. IN FIRTH GEAR AND IT WAS NOT RED LINING. IN FORTH GEAR IT WOULD REDLINE. COMPUTER WOULD HOLD IT AT 90mph.

It may not even require an ecu reflash. The 700 raptor had a sensor on the transmission and would limit rpm's in 5th gear. If that's the case it's an easy fix. I can't remember what I did to mine because it was so long ago, but it was grounding the sensor or something to that effect. I've had the raptor up to 106 in the 1/8 mile.
SOUND SlMPLE ENOUGH. IT WOULD BE A FAST SXS DO THAT.
90 is really fast, I am not saying it isn't true just had a hard time believing it.

78 makes a lot more sense to me.

I only care about 0-40. Trees have a way of limiting top speed
