johan(sweden) Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 does anybody have a 4 stroke dirtbike engine in thier banshee? was planing to fit a in my banshee.. pics would be nice also... Quote
woodro77 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 why would you do that , the best part of the banshee is the motor! the frame and suspension are 20 years old four strokes now have way better suspension ,if anything put a banshee motor in a new frame Quote

johan(sweden) Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Posted February 8, 2006 i have some serios problem to keep up with the 4 strokers on the motocross track, was thinkin on the put a 4-stroke engine and winning evry singel heat... instead of on out of 20 Quote
FTGRACING Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Hey, if set up correctly a shee motor can be a potent MX mill. Especially if you put it in a 250R based frame. If you are a skilled rider and have a good handeling chassis you should be good in all but the maybee the proclass. If you have any doubts sell your quad and get a Yamie or the new trick Suzuki 450.

As mentioned, the suspension geometry, frame etc. are much improved. I have to say that a Banshee engine in the 450 frame would be a better swap than 450 engine into a Banshee frame. Quote
greg_banshee Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) ya that'd be like puttin a K-car engine into an M1 Tank ... banshee has a solid frame but its 20 years old ... set up the banshee (espically the motor the best part) set the suspension up for MX. it can be done, and put some work into the motor and u off to the races.

johan(sweden) Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Posted February 10, 2006 but i have the duncan eliminator engine, hopeless on the motocross track.. i do not want to sell my banshee couse i have put down a shit load of money on it, tho only original on the bike is the fram, all other shit is roll design and vls on it.. but the new suzuki 450 would be nice to have, but it is realy expensive here in sweden, think it cost like 15000 us dollars...

tithead Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 then why dont you buy a VLS? everything is pretty much similar to the banshee aftermarket set up but only you can choose wheather to have a 2stroke or 4stroke engine... and its size. Quote
johan(sweden) Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Posted February 10, 2006 there you have a point man! i did a test ride on a friend vls 560 supermoto bike once, that was the fuckin ride of my life... Quote
