Sorry Samdust...but that guy on a 426 can't ride, his tire is bald, or his bike is running like shit. That 426 will eat banshee, it's got every bit of HP your shee has, STOCK, and it weighs 150 or so less lbs. If that 125 rider has good skills, he'll beat you. That bike weighs less than 200 Lbs., and if it's bone stock he's only down a handful of ponies on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banshee dave Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I pulled away from an 18 year old on a cr125. He got me on take off and he had a bald rear tire but I still got him on top. I did the same to a guy on an Kxf 250, but not as easly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think most of us agree a lot of races are won at the start... Holeshot and traction are 100% key. ON my old cub motor, I averaged mid 1.8 to low 1.9 on my 60 foot times, probably a .600 to .700 on my reaction time (.500 perfect light) My best run at the 300 ft. sand drag I cut a .530 light, 1.78 60 and 4.7 at the end. That little bit off the line made all the difference....fresh rain, fresh groomed track, and I don't think I could've launched much better....

bansheeyfz Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 im a little better rider than him. I think i should take him considering weight. Plus he just got the bike dosent know how to ride it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandthrower370 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 im a little better rider than him. I think i should take him considering weight. Plus he just got the bike dosent know how to ride it good. well i wouldnt think that a 125 would be able to keep up with a shee... other than the weight factor... the shee should logically have more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee dave Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 yes the shee has a power advantage, but, it also has weight disadvantage. get someone that can ride a dirtbike who is lightweight against a quad that has weight plus a rider and you bring them closer to speed. a bike is atleast 150 lbs lighter than shee. I think i'm rambling on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandthrower370 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 your not rambling... your explaining... im not really talkin powerwise here though... im talkin more of engine size... i mean a 125 against a 350 twin.... doesnt sound exactly fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 To put the horsepower to weight thing into prospective, it costs an additional 1 HP, for every 8 lbs. of additional weight that you have. A 150 lb. weight disadvantage, will cost you about 19 HP, which is a lot. There are a lot of factors which go into a race, and weight and HP, are just a couple. You can race on paper all you want, but to find out for sure, you have to race. Let us all know how you fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
