I've read on some forums 0-70mph they pull hard and takes a little longer to top out. I'm pretty sure my 600(carbed) Gade will give it run.

Just unsure if my big ass will affect it much. I really don't know if that's considered fast now a days. I used to do Radar and drags for many years, my 12 year daughter at the time did 91 with a 1979 Poo Centurian in 1/4 mile, I did 102 with a 1982 Kawi 550 Interceptor same day.

smokin george Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The 900"s are decent on fuel, low emissions and super quiet. I guess if you wanna play with clutching/gearing you could wake it up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive by wire throttle, so quiet all you hear is the track whirring. Keep it clamped for miles on end, and feels like its not even cracking a sweat. But you're still hauling a pretty good pace down the trail. 20 mpg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don' know which way to go. Not sure if 900 has enough. I'm no speed freak. I'd look at the 1200.

Great little motor, as long as you don't need to go much past 80. My sled was down for the day a couple years ago, and another bud let me take his 900 Expedition for the day. I was amazed at how easy it was to carry a good pace on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
