Anybody with one of these yet? What the top speed of these little freaks? Thanks.

Top speed is between 50 and 55 mph.  We have had one for about 9 months now.  It is the orange and black special edition model, and we bought it for our 12 year old son.  Its a great little ATV.  The only problem so far is that my son ripped the plastic swingarm skidplate off in the rocks.  I don't know why they put plastic skidplates on ATVs, because we've never had one last more than a few days on any of our sport quads.  We replaced it with a good quality aftermarket aluminum skid plate, and haven't had a problem since.

For us it isn't a big deal, but a 10-12 year old stuck in the mud it is.

when i was 8 on my lt80 i had to avoid anything that looked tricky because i couldnt move it by myself!

I have had mine for 9 months, i love that thing. I agree the skid plate on the rear is no good. i caught mine on a root coming out of a creek and ripped the chain side of the skid plate off. Whatever though i'll fix it when i install a new sprocket and 4 new tires, there wore slick. They are very light, thing will fly in the air. I don't know how many miles is on it, all i know is it's tough. It's a great machine for no more than it cost. It doesn't need reverse it's so lite u can roll it back or pick it up and turn it.
