I recently purchased an 08 kawasaki prairie 360. I rode several before making my decision, including the bigger boys, i.e., brute force 650, polaris, suzuki. The prairie was just the right fit for me. I did a ton of research and could never get an accurate top speed. People said anywhere from 35 to 40. Even the salesman said 30-35. Since it didn't come w/ a speedometer I had no way of knowing, I knew it was fast enough for me, but just had to know the top speed. I pulled out the ol' GPS last night and got up to 44.7 on flat pavement, I tested it first in my regular vehicle to make sure the speed was reading accurately. Why is there such a discrepancy? Is it the alititude that you're running your machine or what? Mine is bone stock. Does that mean that if I add a K&N airfilter and maybe a performance pipe I can expect more, since my baseline is higher than what I've been able to find on the net?
thanks
