Probably 100 - 115. But that's on ice. With better traction, oh... say on cement I am sure I can get at least 150mph!!

I dunno where scramdaddy got the 6950 RPM thing as that is just over half the RPM potential of a shee but my banshee will do 80+ on a try lake bed near my home with the best being 83. It has the following mods:

Toomey Pipes
Prodesign Air Cleaner / No Lid
.030 off the head
Mild Porting
Everything else is stock

Streak

my bike is a 98 with toomey t5's and pro design/k&n setup. i also use an alba airbox lid. my main jets are 280s and my needles were supplied by toomey. on a summer day, at about 90 degrees, my banshee topped out at 86.

i dont care what anybody claims for their top speed, fictional or not...80+ mph is plenty fast to be dodging ditches and trees. and really, guys...80+ feels like 100 mph when you arent on pavement.

ride hard, ride safe.
