Dragg-on Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 ya, i thought the orange bike was modded because of the long swingarm. I dont usually see a stock banshee with a longer swingarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamaha350 Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 the orange bike is modded slighly. it has shortys drag port, cpi in frames, v-force reeds and pro design intakes, cool head and 34 mm carbs with k&n's. it ran a 4.8 in the 100 yards with water leaking into the cylinders due to bad dome o-rings. the le banshee has pipes and filters and was beating the 450 75% of the time.

MRMOONEY Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 guys yes a 450 will beat a stock shee, WHAT WON"T THERE FREAKING GUTLESS PIGS, a damn piped blaster with the right rider prob will too, how has or rides a stock shee? i have seen 1 450 at florence and my friends piped/modded head banshee beat it, the 450 had a cam, pipe, 4 over swingarm, call it what you want sorry no pics but it was a close race but the banshee still one. i know that know one is going to belive but its true.

OK well that explains why he is smoking everyone there. I know HP doesnt win races, but it does help and going by the numbers stock 450 : 45hp stock banshee :35hp id come to the conclusion that the 450 has more balls in stock form.

Blue Duece Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 i raced a piped cammed raptor yesterday, got a squirlly start and he beat me, he turned around and pinned it comeing back and was 100 feet away and i jumped on it again and not only caught him but passed him and got back to where we started from 50 feet before him......lots of shit comes into play when dragging.....is his bike faster than mine?

axle Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I have 2 Banshees and a YFZ450. this last weekend I was beating piped banshees all day long and a few with port work. there was also a few madded raptors out there that could not keep up.

GSXR 1000 Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I have to say its all about the rider.. When I raced the other day we were trying different things and if the shee left in 1 gear and the 450 in 2 gear we were pretty close to dead even but when both left in 2 gear the shee by several bike lengths also changed bikes where i rode the 450 and he rode the shee same results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_a_n_s_h_e_e Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Went to Glamis this past weekend and finally had a chance to see what these new "450's" were all about...I raced two up Olds that were completely stock and walked ALL over them. My banshee has some serious port work done though....I raced a couple more later on that had pipes and filters and it was a much closer race. I still won by quite a bit, but at least they gave me somewhat of a run for my money. Finally, I raced this other 450 at China Wall. Now this bike was VERY impressive. It rolled up next to me and it was completely decked out in Duncan racing stuff, and some trick looking beadlock rims...Anyways It smoked me off the line (I start in 3rd gear) and about halfway through the whoops I began to catch him. I continued to get closer but that bike had some serious top end too!!! I could barely catch him at the top and I ended up winning once out of the two times we raced. The guy darted off before we could do a third round Anywho---My take on the whole thing is that you have to take them serioulsy because they CAN be really quick...Racing a piped banshee vs. a piped 450 will result in a loss for the shee 90% of the time IMHO...

InFlames Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Thats basically what I said. 9 outa 10 times. I find it hard to believe that you do 3rd gear starts with that bike. Is there a special trick to that? what size front sprocket do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_a_n_s_h_e_e Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 sorry I couldn't reply quickly...I was at Glamis ...But about the third gear start thing, you have to clutch the piss out of it but it'll do it. I find it easier because when racing up hills I can ride third through the whoops and shift into 4th and 5th up the hill. Even though off the line it wont be as fast, I can make it up in whoops faster. Oh, and I I have a 14 tooth front sprocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
