i see the leaf blower comments and the other comparisons and all i can do is laugh! a leaf blower is not tuned for maximum performance. who here tunes a banshee to be able to hold it wot forever and it never exceed a safe rpm, or has a dome design the gives up performance for heat exchange? who here called their builder and said send me domes and exhaust that will get rid of heat and will only let my bike rev to 8,500 rpms? 100 dollars paypal to the first person that post them self on their banshee doing a wot pull for a solid mile as the bike is tuned right now. no changing parts not even spark plugs.......
the conversation we were having in the shoutbox was with a member that is running methanol which more than half that has posted in here knows jack shit about. if you wasn't keeping up with the convo or don't have a bike that will do a mile pull without backing out then gtfo.
baja500, 1000 do not set their bikes up for maximum power they set them up for maximum safe power with fuel economy in mind. very few ppl could even make it a mile in a 500-1000mile race let alone know how they set their bikes up.
like i said.......
video of 1 mile pull
no backing out for any reason
no tuning, no parts changing
todays date on paper in the video
