Yes, a Banshee engine has 350 YPVS crankcases.

My first YPVS I had tuned and a set of Lomas pipes and it would do 135mph, but it wasn't very nice to ride, the pipes pushed the power up the revs so that it only made power when the engine was in the red line, only bike I've ever lowered the gearing and it went faster, it was a much nicer bike to ride with a mild tune and Allspeeds, which is what I've done with my current YPVS.

As Potter said a bike that has the power to do 135mph isn't great in a chassis designed for 115mph.
