Top speed can be easily tweaked and I'm not sure if it will beat a Banshee in a drag, but I'd be willing to bet it comes close. As far as slow riding, they say you can put it in 3rd gear and just ride it like an automatic. Like I said earlier, of the big-bores, it is the most nimble and best handling, however this could be greatly improved with some lowering and widening mods to match up with some of the smaller machines. Raptors are notoriously top-heavy.

The top speed seems to be debatable around 72-80mph. For stability mods, check the Yamaha forum as I'm sure there's a ton of ideas over there. Just search for it.
