I own both bikes and both being well built on race fuel and ported. It is all in the RIDER cause I upset banshee owners all day beating them with my 450 with way less hp. Its all how u shift bikes everyones different. But when I'm on my banshee I give the same 450s n banshee 6 bike length leave n ride around them! Miss a gear Or miss a shift u will loose every race plain n simple. Its the rider not the bike.
