rippinciao Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Just finished getting my bike back together this summer, and I am pleased.. This is the first banshee I have ever owned , and will never turn back. I raced my brother raptor(smoked it.) raced plenty of 400z,exs,(smoked em). I was at the local place we ride called the sand pits and this guy a his wife pulled up. He had a new 450r . Nice bike but i would have boughten a yamaha 450 instead. He kept bragging about all the bikes hes beat,but he never raced a banshee. I said," lets go". I was a little nervous cause everyone says how fast the 450s are. I'm not a pro rider just a weekender, hittin the trails. Well- I blew the doors off the 450r. First we raced on this private road where we both can hook up. I was so far in front, it wasn't funny. Then I said ," lets go on the grass". I knew he would problably beat me there cause all I would do was spin my tires. I beat him again, but he was closer . About 2 lengths behind. BOY, HE WAS MAD. He said,"maybe i should go out and buy a banshee". Granit his bike was stock and mine had mods,his was 4 ,and mine is 2 stroke(BANSHEES FLY.) What is all boils down to is I paid $2500 for mine and did about grand in mods, He paid $7000 for his and still has to put a pretty to beat it. Quote
Meat Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 the new hondas are nice, but they're not known as speedsters. good kill tho. Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 watch out for the yfz450 tho. they will give you a run for your money. one missed shift or small slip up and youll be eatin their shit. Quote

Jibrille Posted July 28, 2004 Report Posted July 28, 2004 hehe, thats cool. My friend has a piped 450R, and oddly one of my friends on a 400ex can beat him, the ex has a cam and a rev box and the R has a pipe. They are nice light machines with great acceleration, but they lack the "drag" aspects. Quote
rippinciao Posted July 30, 2004 Author Report Posted July 30, 2004 Seem like they would be nice bikes for the track, and trail. Quote
