What are they?

 

They are all very close, in the mid 70s is actually all you can say. You can have a raptor and I can have one and yours might top out 1 or 2 mph higher then mine due to mass production. There are people who say that a raptor will only do liek 71 and then there are people who say 77 or so. Mid 70's and you can go wrong. All are close.

 

I dont know about the banshee but they say the raptor is 74 mph and the yfz450 72-73

 

not bad for complying with emission regulations. my trike didnt do that stock i bet.

 

not true. you have to have the power to pull longer gearing and keep in mind of falling out of the powerband when between shifts. top speed is important to me for those thrilling sand highway runs with a big group of people enjoying the wind in our faces.

 

Yea same here whats u find that long sand way u get to top speed and it gets pretty fun....

 

Yeah, my Rap with mods(pipe/header, no airbox lid w/K&N, Jet kit) and a 12 tooth counter shaft sprocket got 75MPH on the GPS, I think bout 80MPH without, have to check it again without...

 

Yes true. All three of these sport quads can easily pull 2-3 less teeth on the rear sprocket. The reduction of a couple of teeth will definately help top speed. Yes you will feel a difference when coming out of tight corners, but unless you go drastically smaller on the rear sprocket theres no reason why you can not pull that kind of gearing.
