Yeah some stories people tell just leave you there standing and laughing.

I think its safe to say we can expect 72mph out of a new banshee.

I just GPS all my machines.

2003 DS650 Baja = 77.9 MPH Limiter. Had to pump up tires with more air to get that extra few because limiter was holding me back. 75.9 was with factory PSI.

2002 Raptor = 72.2MPH With stock psi.

1999 Banshee = 73.4 MPH. Stock PSI.

2000 grissly 600 = 53 Mph

2001 Traxtor 500 = 58MPH will do 72 down a hill in 5 gear.

This weekend im going to do my Brand new 2003 Banshee after i get some brake in time on it so we will se what they do out of the box. And my 2002 quest 650.

 

Mar,

Man, marty, theas are alot of quads.....
is your last name gates by eny chance?

 

Mar, that was a great post. THANKS!!!

About the only readings I believe from people are those that use a GPS. Sure radar is accurate but how many of us own a radar gun or (As I have heard many times) "have a cop friend" that will clock you flying down a public road.

Did you make these measurements on pavement? I'm guessing you did.

 

Nope all measurments were done on a hard gravle road which resembles pavement so results would be more or less the same.

All of the ATVs are in my family but not all mine.

The DS, Banshee and Quest are mine..Rest are my fathers and brothers.

My best friend all through highschool went to be a cop and he was a local cop in the town we grew up in so we could get away with a little more than most of the people. He has clocked me with radar and the new lazer toy he got. As far as being on a public road, no. The factory at which I work has about a .5 mile lane going up to the front of the building. I know I don't have a Banshee but a 56mph for a trailboss is not that bad for a 325cc 500lb tank.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I think a few cops in my area would be more then happy to come down to a deserted road and radar you. Cops are nuts about atvs and speed. Thats why they want to be cops for the chases.

 

About 2 years ago, I was one of the first ones in La to get one of the first Raptors, the day I picked it up the salesman told me that it would do well over a hundred, I argued with him because I knew about what it was going to run, and at the time I still had my Banshee, told him that my Banshee would only do about 80mph (pipe, gearing, ect) and it would smoke the Raptor, he said I was wrong, and that the banshee was probably going almost 110mph!!!! I swear, they must hire any choad off of the street and let them tell outright lies to a potential customer, funny thing is like PIRANHA said, there are some people that think they have a stock shee that will do over a hundred......
