In comparison to bikes (2 wheelers), quad bikes seem to have a much more limited speed when it comes to top speed.
What I am wondering is, if a Raptor was custom built with the right setup for top speed (enough power, the correct gears, lowered/widened and other customisations for the road) what would be the main problems of travelling at speeds around the 120mph mark on a quad? Most dirt bikes are easily capable of them speeds with the same size engine as a high end quad such as the Raptor but I've never really heard of people going above 100mph on quads.
Obviously it must be something to do with the physics, perhaps quads just aren't as stable at those speeds to the point that it's highly dangerous but I'd like to know more.
