I ride the trails and if not a strategic trail and just a run of the mill trail thru the woods without a lot of ruts I'll run 40 easy and sometimes reach 50 if a long enough stretch. Your correct with the transmission. The cvt really limits these buggies. I had a 50cc cycle and in 4th I got up above 50mph and there was still more but it scared my old %ss. Now if we had a 4 or 5 spd. tranny behind our 150 with a stock engine, speeds would be greater and have more low end.
Yeah, The fastest I could get up to on my trails are about 23mph... I'd think 27mph is about how fast I'll get at St. Joe on the flats and on the trials 20mph, if even that.
