Mav, I had it out on the lake a couple times. It easily pulls past the 100mph mark on the speedo but I didnt get a chance to hold onto it so see how much it had left. I am definately happy with the performance from what I have seen so far!!!!!!

i can get past the 100 mark too, I wanna know a top on that puppy though. i bet its fast as hell! I raced a piped/clutched/silenced/vforce3/196 studs ZR900 last winter
it was hilarious. he went about 50 feet for every 15 i went. that thing was fast as hell. gps said 132 was his top

Locky those pics are sweet. I like to ride up in the Alpena area as it gets minimal traffic. The gaylord area is way too congested and bumpy for me! I am getting amped up to go riding this year. A few more of my friends just got sleds so hopefully we can rack on the miles this year.

JohnDeereSleds: The 86 phazer I had was an awesome sled. Light in the trails, plenty of power I always thought. That 485cc fan cooled motor was indestructable in that sled. The PSI pipe really makes it sound fast too! LOL

As for the ZRT. I only have about 200 miles of ride time on it as I got it late in the season last year. I have to get the jetting correct, but it really does scream the way it sits. I really didnt mind it in the trail either. My dad has a 96 ZRT 600 that he bought new in 96 so he converted me to a triple lover. In a couple years I will prolly get one of those big twins as they are very sweet also.

If you ride around alpena, you'll probably see me zipping around this winter... cant miss two ZRT's flying along up there.

Im suprised you havent pushed it past 100 yet. I've put both of my sleds pushing 125 mph indicated across black lake (not sure how accurate the stock speedo is). No more pull past that, and I honestly think its only doing 115 or so. I only have 600's, yours will scoot.

I will definately keep my eyes open. Our cabin is in Atlanta but we like to ride north east. You will see 2 ZRT's, 2 2003 440 snopros, and a ZR 500.......Thats my crew....LOL
