PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 I bought the mag last night and read the article, pretty gutsy idea too bad he couldn't race it. The thing about dirt wheels for me is they must not spell check anything there's atleast 4 obvious spelling errors/typos in that article alone, that's just sad and makes me think they are all idiots.

lonestar Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 excellent point tim ! those banshee articals, unfortunately, will become even more rare as time goes on. 498333[/snapback] so true Quote
-JD- Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) I just read this article today and it kinda pissed me off. They tell ya straight out that this banshee was built to go fast, then they test ride it and say "yah its scary fast but its a handfull to ride, doesnt handle that great, and would take to alot of energy and concentration to ride an entire race! To which i thought... IT'S A FRIGGIN BANSHEE! Don't say it was built to be eye watering fast and then complain about how it handles. WTF did they think a 520cc kit would be like. This banshee was ment to go from point A to point B faster than anything else on the track, peroid, not handle like an F1 car. I think the test riders at dirt wheels are gettin soft from ridin to many 4-stroke quads with their "perfect handling","super fast engines", electric starters, and blah blah blah blah... They are just so hooked on those 4-strokes they don't write about anything else. I guess they think people don't ride 2-strokes anymore or somthin'. Anyway i was happy to see an article on a banshee as it has been awhile as some of u have mentioned(just didn't like the way they bashed it), it is one badass quad and it looks very sinister, I love it!.

PassionRE Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 . There is a reason why 10mm stroker Banshees arnt tearing up the open class... 498321[/snapback] Yes, its because a 70 horse Banshee will out-run it on a MX track..unless ofcourse you have 1/2 mile straights Quote

rocketboy Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 i thin k the dirtwheels test crew are a bunch of pussys who never rode fast anything ,they thought a stock vforce700 was scary fast too when they tested it 2 years ago before it was released Quote
BenBB Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 I finally got to read this article (thanks Chris, I tried not to drool on it the mag or the Powerstroke heh), kinda skimpy on the motor details but some nice pics...just to clarify the "test" riders are Dana Creech and Jason Lubergh (sp?), both pro-level riders and Bomb Squad freestylers, and yes Wes Miller of Quatros Locos/Huevos Grandes/Huevos 2-8 fame (and long-time racer, still does Baja races with Creech, last time on a Jagermeister-sponsored YFZ450) is the one that built the beast...not slow dudes by any stretch of the imagination, or Dirtwheels flunkies, if they say it's fast (and DW didn't take too many liberties on the quotations), it's borderline INSANE Quote
. Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 I dont get dirtwheels anymore mainly because they never put anything decent or interesting for me anymore. Is this shee a stock framed shee or is it a 250R base chassis? Quote
RIPPEN Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 i thin k the dirtwheels test crew are a bunch of pussys who never rode fast anything ,they thought a stock vforce700 was scary fast too when they tested it 2 years ago before it was released 500245[/snapback] Is That the same SUPER FAST machine EnForcer raves about Otherwise I agree . Seems like all you EVER see in DW is nothing but 4x4s, 4 pokes and kids stuff. Thats all fine and good but thats not what Iam into reading about so screw it.. Ill stick to the HQ cuz if its important or badass it will pass through here. RIPPEN Quote
txblueshee Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 Pick up QUAD or atvinsider if you actually want quality reading.... Mike Quote
Wicked98Shee Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 i can only say 1 thing about the wes miller banshee ........ " I WANT ONE!!!" lol i hear that ohh that to fast shit all the time, but these are local 4poke guys that must need a tampon ... WTF if ya dont get a 2 hr hard on after ya hit the gas .... its to dam slow!!! Quote
KlotzBanshee Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 I seen this bike in the may issue. I'm wondering if Wes Miller is the same Wes Miller that worked for trinity. 497086[/snapback] Dumb question.....If he once worked for Trinity, Why would he go to LRD to build his shee? Quote
txblueshee Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 Dumb question.....If he once worked for Trinity, Why would he go to LRD to build his shee? 501596[/snapback] B/c trinity can't build a bike for shit... Mike Quote
KlotzBanshee Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 B/c trinity can't build a bike for shit...Mike 501603[/snapback] Yea, and LRD is the shit right? Mike, you sound like one grumpy dude. Quote
