Man, have you ever opened up a can of worms! Don't expect much of a straight answer. This will most likely turn into an argument post. The true answer depends on where you ride, what altitude you ride, and even how well tuned the bike is. What's top-end anyway? Unless your on the highway, its hard to find a spot open enough to top out.

What is the big deal with top speed anyway? You hardly ever see it unless you hold it wide open, which you usually can't do unless you have a big straightaway. Just IMO.

I know that...As I said I was just curious to know how fast a stock raptor would go. Theres not many places to go wide open, unless you take the road.

Alright, that is good to know. I think stock Raptors are in the range of 73-76. It all depends on conditions (weight of rider, how much gas is in it, wind conditions, etc.)
