bbluebanshee Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 i also got to ride one that wasnt broke in yet. it was rough on the dunes and if i went slow, i could feel every bump. but the harder i let it rip, the smoother it was!!

2004LEBanshee Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I finally got to see one at the trails yesterday It was owned by a spoiled little 16 year old kid. It had holeshots with those hyper wheels, ct pipe, K&N, Nerfbars and other stuff. However it was pretty slow though! But it was being pulled by a z400 on a tow strap . He said it was the second day he had it and didn't change the jetting so it ran like crap. But that all stoped when the battery died. So I'll have to wait to see one run next time.

sredish Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I'd like to see what I could do with a yfz. I wouldn't trade in the banshee, but I wouldn't mind have one as a playtoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axle Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I raced the new honda last weekend. and was impressed with the results. A friend of mine got the first one to hit the show room floor and had the cam changed and some bullsh** new insert installed in the stock pipe before he picked it up. My YFZ has a yoshi pipe, cam mod & K&N filter. We raced twice and it was a pretty close race both times in about 300 ft. I'd say I only pulled him by about 2 Bike lengths.

knabet Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I've got an 03 banshee with LRD pipes, and K&N, but that's it. I raced a pretty unexperienced rider on the yzf450 and it wasn't even close. a few minutes later a new honda 450 wanted to race, granted it wasn't broken in yet, but the rider seemed good but I beat him up the hill by 4-5 bike lengths, and the yz450 was 3 bike lengths behind it. They were both stock; but like I said it wasn't close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axle Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Well rider does have alot to do with it. I've beat piped BANSHEEs with my 450 by 3-4 bikes on more than one occasion. But my wife's ported banshee will put 3-4 bike lengths on me on the 450. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony7 Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 its great that we are able to talk about up to date quads. i was begining to think all that was going to be racing 40 yrs from now are the 250r's and shees. if the sport keeps going in 5yrs we will be talking about the new 1200 four stroke.

Ultimateduner Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 You would think with all the time the atv companys have had they would be able to make a quad faster than the banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
