has anyone raced a CRF450R or a YZ450F

[shee rips]

than im gonna say that the guy on the CRF couldnt ride. ive never even came close to losing to a bolt on banshee. every time i drag race some of my friends 450 quads, i can roll out, stand up, do wheelie and still destroy them. i just wanna know if anyone has beat one with a ported 4mill with stock jugs?? i guess theirs only one way to find out.

that kinda sounds like the 450 had a shitty tire to me :shrug:

it is almost embarassing to get your ass handed to you as bad as putting a bolt on banshee against even a stock 450 bike

i would be impressed if you beat him with the 4 mil. i think it should be fairly close if you have traction

ll i can sat is a raced one of those new 250s and i didnt beat it by that much so id imagine a 450 would do me some damage

The power to weight ratio advantage that a 250 2 stroke or 450F dirt bike has over a quad is almost 2:1. A quad would need 90+ hp to even be in the ball park. I used to take my CR250 to the dunes all the time and raced everything that moved. The quad will get the jump off the line but as soon as the bike starts to hook up its all over.

ive never raced a 450, but i did race a crf 250r. those bikes run very well also but i did edge him out on a roll in 2nd....

also i raced a 97 xr 600 a few weeks ago and edged it out also, but not by much at all...

and these runs were on pavement

i dont know about 90hp, but the rest i can agree with. i think my CRF weights like 220-225lbs. whats a banshee weight. its probably gonna take an extra 20rwhp, i would think.

that doesnt sound right. the KTM 450s are under powered though and the 525 only makes 1 or 2 more hp than a CRF450 and it weight a bit more.

That was just an estimate, I'm figuring a typical Banshee with a few bolt-ons at 45hp and 412 lbs vs. dirt bike at 45hp and 225 lbs.
