BansheeRider87 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hey guys got a question need opinion. I have a banshee which will have fmf pipes powercoreII silencers, 30mm carbs, 22cc domes, stock reeds with powerreeds. My friend has a ltr450 with full yoshi exhaust and cherry bomb and twinair filer. Who will win in a drag, top-end, and low end race.

RUDEDAWG Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The bikes themselves are gonna be close, I would try to race him on pavement. W/second gear start and definitely turn your boost bottle all the way up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mason07shee Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) i had an 07 ltr with no air box lid and a cherry bomb and my 07 shee with just t6's airbox vents no snorkle jetted fairly well and the ohhhh so powerfull moose racing boost bottle! lol haha on a hard packed oil'd road second gear start on the shee i could leave the ltr as soon as i hit 3rd gear and just wave at it good bye . i couldent launch in second on the ltr unless i really sliped the clutch it just hooked to good the shee would just spin right through second. others will say this is false but both were mine and both were new 6 months old and almost same results when riders were switched i hung in there a little better when riding the ltr but still lost . just a little first hand experiance Edited January 14, 2009 by mason07shee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high octane junkie Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 the ltr450 you listed probably has slightly more horsepower, but definitely more torque. lighter weight too. it's going to depend on the actual set-up.. a stock ltr450 is geared 14-36 with 18" rear tires. a stock banshee is geared 14-41 with 20" rear tires. using a gearing calculator, with these specifications the top speed is nearly the same, less than a 1 mph benefit for the banshee, but the suzuki would outpull the banshee in all gears, and the banshee would need to play "catch-up." roughly the ltr450 will win a short to medium distance drag race, and definitely low end by far. both vehicles starting a race side by side at top speed in a large open field will be extremely close.

njbanshee Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I've seen the ltr 450 hand some fast banshees there ass in a sand/ dirt drag. The banshees had more work than you done and the ltr had the same but had a powercommander on it too. Good luck on the race, hope you win.
