I'm all over the place but it highly depends on location for me. Desert / dunes very fast 10-70+, fire roads 5-55, Logging roads 5-40, off road trail 1-to what ever is safe. On the other hand ive putted at 10-15 on easy FS roads just looking at stuff as well. Its a hard to answer that question, but do i like to go fast? Yes but only in the right places, and only for short burst.

Safety would dictate my speed. If I wanted to go fast I would have bought a sport quad and crashed already. :D

It's all about the COFU Index. This index is critical to not only ATV speed, but pretty much any life situation.

Proper estimation of the COFU Index is essentially evolutionary therory simplified.

Here are some examples:

Testing a 9v battery with your tongue = low COFU Index

Testing a 220v line with your tongue = high COFU Index




oh yeah, COFU = Consequence of F'ing Up
