With the right setup, I’m sure you’re quad could do over 100 (I would guess 110ish) But for racing, you probably found the sweet setup, (mods/gearing) and that would get you to 90 and kicking ass on a track…on the track! I’ve been talking about everyday trail riding, getting your money’s worth. I get that you could probably whip my ass on 80% of the trails I ride. I’m not arguing that. I’m arguing that the 4x4 sport/utilty is the best setup/deal going. I know your quad rips and handles. But… can you do 70mph, 2-up, comfortably, with a back rack full of supplies; move a trailer full of (firewood, brush, etc. around the yard, then out back to the dump); plow your’s and neighbors driveways in the winter; move firewood up from the back wood pile down by the woods in the mid of winter; tow a buddy’s “Broke/stuck” quad out of the trails, back to the house; tow trees and carry tools down in the woods to clear/make trails; trudge through the many mudholes; crawl over the rocks in the creek bed up the steep creek ravine; crawl over the mess of trees, stumps, branches left over from a damaging tornado; haha, pull a buddy’s snowmobile out of a bad drift when he was drunk; out run the … to the nearest trail, haha. I’ve done it all in the short while of owning a sport/utility quad. I would ask, can you do that all on your sportquad. The thread started out on what to buy and why. I love all toys and still have plans to buy an older sport quad for the fun of it,(among many other toys). But I still stick by my opinion. You buy a good sport utility and you’ll be happy over the entire lifetime of that quad. IMO… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ride-atvs/264337)._
