batouttahellbanshee Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 I just bought a banshee about 2 weeks ago. I got a loan. I'm a senior in high school and I've wanted a banshee since I was in the 7th grade cause that's all I heard about from my buddies. Anyways, heres my question, my bike is pretty much stock. All it has is Toomey T-5's. My buddy has a 05 yfz with an ESR pipe. Who should come out on top in a drag? Just based on the bike, not the rider. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 What I've found is that the key factor is the thumb throttle. If you have a thumb throttle extender you'll put a good bike length on him if not you might want to wear one of those plastic breathing masks cause it's gotta get dusty. Quote
mat Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 On dirt, you will get smoked. Sorry, but the 4 strokes just hook up better and you'll be left at the starting line spinning your tires. Launch in the highest gear that you can. I usually start in 2nd or 3rd. Sometimes 4th if on dusty hardpack. Now if you can drag on pavement, or in the sand with paddles, you might be able to beat him. Quote
BigRed350x Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) I agree. My YFZ is faster off the line than my Banshee on our gravel roads, only for a gear though. Once I hit third or fourth I will blast past it. On the sand my shee will eat my YFZ alive. Edited November 9, 2005 by BigRed350x Quote
kenr74 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 Whew!! I hadn't seen a "will my bike beat his bike" post in at least three hours. I was starting to think the world was coming to an end. Just go race and find out. Quote
