Just an update: I finally got fenders on it so I wasn't getting pelted with mud! I took it out on the road with another friend on his 420 Honda rancher 4 wheeler to see how fast it would go- It wasn't even a race as mine left him behind. The GPS showed an average of 48 mph with 3 runs. The road wasn't flat (slight slope)- going down hill it showed I got up to 54 mph, so I'm going to say top speed is right @ 50 mph but 48 mph is still awesome for a 200cc engine . That's a lot faster than I expected-this buggy is extremely LIGHT. I had to adjust the toe in to make it stable @ those speeds, I WON'T be trying to go that fast on a dirt road!!
I should be posting more pic's tomorrow & possibly a video of my 7' (280lbs) friend driving it.
