Back in my ATV/Offroading days I had a Polaris Scrambler 400 (380cc, 2 stroke) with a variable transmission. It would do 68MPH forward (clocked on a paved mile). It also had a reverse. There was a button on the bar that overrode the reverse limiter so it would go as fast backwards as forwards.

I tried it once...still cleaning my pants and only got to about half throttle.
were you facing forward or backwards when going in reverse?
