AH HA so the title was eye candy! Now down to buisness, I was reading ATV Sport magazine (August 2001 I think) and in there they have a modified Raptor that they claim goes 100mph with the right sprocket/tire combo. Is this true? and if it is could you guys give me some estimates on how much it would cost? I've been seriously considering a Raptor for the last few months and when I saw this I was astonished. Any input would be helpful.
Thanks, QuadMaster2000

 

It would not be that difficult to get to a 100 but the rappy gets to be a handful after 85mph. I know that 14/40 gearing will get mine to 93 mph no problem with still more. (out of room.) If you want to cruise in excess of 80mph get a new ds650 and a few modds.

 

OK Thanks alot justs so happenes the 03 DS is looking pretty nice too. I thought about the DS before and had my mind set on it but then started to think maybe it was too heavy I dont know input on this issue too would be nice.

 

My Rappy does a 100 mph everytime I put it in back of the truck!!!..LOL...Although, I wouldn't want to try riding it that fast in the desert...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

LOL!!! but go ahead and tell your friends you love them, alot of times there is a reason they do not make stock atvs go 100mph, so you can actually live long enough to enjoy it.

 

Why would you even want to go that fast on quad. Way too fast for me![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

14??? OUCH Never thought I would see you pushing a Bomb!!! Whats up? J/K

 

My stock raptor went 100+mph
I know its hard to believe but we clocked it next to my Le Car going through a sandy wash,
and...and...and

you realy feel the need to go that fast?

 

Raptorman- You ever ridden a rappy at over 85mph?? They are a handful. In know that bomb claim that there DS run at over 80mph in those desert races. The bomb is bigger and wider.

you could make a rappy that will do it but you need 6 to 8 inches on the swing arm, wider axle, wider and plus a-arms and lots of power. hell that what i have. I was wrong.

you really need to cut the front fenders to go at high speed on a rappy. I was cruising down the county road a few months back around 80-85 and went around a slight turn in the road. I was crapping bricks by the time i got out of the corner. The wind had drivven me to the far barditch and the fence was fast approaching. All because of the front fenders.

 

My banshee stock width and length hits 95 no problem.
