Just my opinion but......

Its gonna take some power I think. You got to remember you have alot of wind resistance even if you shave the fenders. If I remember right with wind resistance (drag) its exponential, as in if you double your speed you 4x the resistance. (Can't remember its been too long)

I liken the bashee to being as aerodynamic as a pair of plyers. It can be done, but you're going to need either a tail wind to reduce your drag, or ALOT of horsepower.

on my gas bike,i have done over 100.we are talking 75 -80 hp play drag bike.heavy.on an asphalt strip.big ass 38mm carbs.cpi inframes. the only way to tell is to take it to a drag strip. if it don t do it by right after the eighth mile,it ain t doing it.my gears were 18 38. it takes some nuts to pull them gears.if you don t have asphalt tires you will be vibrating like a 400 lb . dildo.even with them you might. pretty scary.

your going to need some hp besides a pipe to pull a 100, try getting a scotts stearing stabilizer.........that way if you do hit a 100 you wont break your neck........

Heh. I guess a twitch or a bee zippin up yer nose at 100mph might send you into a hard left and or right wouldn't it?

not with the scotts stan.......let go of the bars at 80 not a problem.......at 475.00 bucks it's fuckin auto pilot for your shee, and you can just turn a knob on your bars and soften it if you like.......all in all a neat add on for your quad........also a must for any 100mph plus baja racers, two or four wheelers

Yea those big bees and dragon flies feel like getting shot by a paintball above a 100mph. I had bugs leave little bruises back in my young and dumb days on my streetbike.

June Bugs are the worst.
