If you got the sprokets and the motor, it will do it easily.

With enough mods you can make a lawn mower go 100+ mph :-). We clocked my friends Banshee last weekend and stock speeds were in the 70's (around 74 est.). We are going to do it again with a GPS when he get's his new one broken in. Later.

I don't know about the 100 MPH question. There's a long ways between 75 and 100 MPH.

Anyway, when my Banshee was stock I measured it using a GPS at around 73 stock and almost 75 with a K&N filter added. Of course a little wind or up/down hill can change those numbers a bit but 73 to 75 is a very fair number to use for stock speed. I made these checks a few times so I feel confident in their validity. I haven't measured it yet since it was modified more.

Yes, he asked if it could do 100+ with Mods. You can make any quad do 100mph with ENOUGH mods. Now if he was specific with the listing of mods, that would be a different story. Just thought I'd throw that in. Thanks.

Well, no matter what I wouldn't say it can be done easily. It does have a lot to do with gearing though. With stock gearing on the road mine wants another gear... I really gotta stick a 15 tooth sprocket on there one of these days and clock it with the GPS.
