I measured my stock 2000 Banshee on level ground at between 72 and 75 MPH (tucked down on quad)with a Garmin GPS on different occasions. A little wind one way or another counts for the deviations. Don't believe all these posts about 85 Mph Banshees and 60 Mph Blasters, etc... I clock my stock Warrior at around 53 to 55 and my Blaster was very cloe to that maybe a little less, I can't rememeber exactly.

The Blaster have been proven to go a lot more than 53-55 mph. Hell, mine was clocked at 64 mph and I only have a 14 tooth sprocket on it.

There is no more ridiculous post than top speed. Different bikes, terrain, rider weight, devices for measuring, and a very, very high BS quotient all skew the results wildly.

well theres no way a banshee will do 85 or 100 or whatever. And theres no way a Blaster will do 65. A stock banshee is usually between 70 to 75. A blaster 50 to 55, although my blaster seems to do a tad faster cuz it is just slightly slower than my Scrambler 500 in top speed. Theres alot of things that effect top speed, so results aren't going to be the same everythime. Oh and car speedo's are almost always off some.

A stock Bandhee will get close to 150 mph with the right gearing, and a slight downhill (like Mt. Everest).

there is a kid at my school who swears on his life his banshee goes 125mph.I have told this no way and he argued so finally I just don't talk to him about it anymore.One day I went to my freinds house that lives next door to the 125 mph kid.Only to see him riding a clapped out 220 bayou.LOL.His brother has a banshee that is pretty nice.It has fmf pipes silincers,wiseco .20 pistons,The 125 mph kid can't even ride it.He doesn't know how to ride with a clutch LOL.And he also swears his bayou will smoke my 250r and my freinds 2000 trailblazer.LOL.This bayou is in such bad shape he took it to the kawasaki dealer to have a new starter put on it and they wouldn't do it.They where suprised it was still running!!!!The 125 mph kid sticks a water hose up the exhaust pipe of his bayou and turns the water on so when he starts it watter comes out.LOL This kid needs to get off the crack!!!
