Banshee top speed

Recommended Posts

Anybody have a factual idea of what the speed of a stock and piped Banshee is.

 

Sure I felt like I was going 60, but I don't actually have the slightest clue, so if you're like me and don't have the slightest clue you aren't any help so just spare us, please.

 

I don't have many mods, so stock compared to just piped would be real helpful, and I'm sure other people would like to know too... thanks in advance!

Wow, wasn't thinking it was gonna be that much... that's good to hear.

 

Well if my piped 'shee is going 70 or so mph my Tecate must have potential to do around 80, but I have it geared for acceleration... and even though my Tecate has 2 teeth less than stock in the rear, it takes my 'shee both off the line and in the long-run (about 400ft). Both bikes are quick off the line, but the Tecate is practically raceable as it sits. Both quads have around 45hp w/ their mods (Tecate a little more, Banshee a little less)... however the Tecate weighs roughly 50 lbs. less than the Banshee :notworthy:

two things...first, you're only gonna go as fast as your gearing and tire size will let you, two...to run bigger gearing to go faster, you need the motor to pull it.

 

Memory serves me correctly...in the 1/4 mile on my my buddies old bone stock banshee, it was 74MPH with the fenders on, and 77 with the fenders off.

 

Obviously, the 1/4 is way more room than you need to top one out.

I think I was launching in 3rd slipping the clutch big time.
