I had a Fuji 488 Fan some years ago and it was rated at 55 h.p. I would think you're in the 60 h.p. range on those engines if everything is stock. I don't think they made a 500 Triple, the triples were in the 650 class as I recall.

Poo had a 500 triple in the Centerion. very fast for a 500 but did not turn in under a country mile. They were around 1980 era.
 
Real m.p.h.

that 500 should do 85-90. I had mine over 90 but you can never trust the dream-o-meter.

Back in 1987-88, I ran my then new 1986 INDY 600 (STOCK, but dialed in well) LIMITED EDITION @ the radar runs 91 M.P.H. in 1000', Speedo said around 100 m.p.h.

My bud's 1985 INDY (STOCK, no maintenance kinda guy) 600 ran 88 M.P.H. (Same Radar Run)

So, one could then assume that the LIMITED EDITION Chrome package was good for 3 M.P.H.

*****************************************************************************

Same Radar Run, my 1978 YAMAHA SRX 440 Ran 86 M.P.H.

1993 STORM 750 102+ m.p.h. 1000' RADAR RUN, 110+ speedo

1996 STORM 800, 105.3 m.p.h. 1000' RADAR RUN, 115 Speedo

Same Radar run, the fastest 900 THUNDERCAT in 1996 out of a fleet of 12 entries in the stock 900 class ran 105.1 m.p.h.
********************************************************************************
My 2007 DRAGON 700, 99 M.P.H. Speedo= 96.7 M.P.H. G.P.S.

********************************************************************************

72 COLT (Polaris built Colts right?) Mild Big Block, 15" x 33"'s 1/4 mile times, 9.58 @ 137+ M.P.H. Back in 1984

********************************************************************************

Everytime some guy tells me he was doing a 100 m.p.h. on a sled and believes it, I just chuckle

citgo sea and snow minus another 10 !

minus 150 to be exact. including me, theres 3 of us who've put citgo sea and snow in our sleds and shortly after it blew up. Those sound like reason enough to hate it. 2 of them were crank bearings, the other was top end. No piston wash left on it at all. It was getting plenty of fuel, no air leaks, plugs looked good. Just plain ole terrible oil is all!

Now, where were we? :)
