Justintoxicated Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 because you have stock pipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 because you have stock pipes? 437446[/snapback] Agreed. Got to mod it a bit to get it to compare to a 2 wheeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIRST BANSHEE Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Is it new or used. stock or modified. A dirty air cleaner will slow it right down.plugged mufflers on the stock pipes will slow it down also.you have to ride a banshee hard to get the most out of it.when my buddy first got his banshee I could beat him on my 250r, when he learned how to ride it, I would take him through third and then he was gone. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Your dirtbike was half the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattw204 Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 umk....the banshee is stock and yea i know how to ride a two stroke....i used to race motocross and before that i had a blaster. its kinda how i grew up ya know. anyways i am thinking about selling this thing and getting me another 250 dirtbike or maybe a yz450f. I took my kx250 to the dunes near my house and i beat the socks off of many modified banshees,raptors,z400,450r,predators, and some yzf450's in drag races......well my bike was modified also but they had the traction so.........

Don't get me wrong, I DO have a banshee, but I also have a KX 250 and a KX 500, and I like them WAYYYYYY better than the banshee, especially the KX 500. Just a 250 motocross bike will smoke a banshee easy, wheelie better, spin better, and accelerate faster. The only thing it wont have is the top speed of the banshee, but it wont be much slower top speed wise. You could always get a KX 500 and easily smoke ANYTHING as far as 4 wheelers/bikes, no matter wtf they have for (practicle) mods. The only thing that will stand a chance will be another 500cc motocross bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
