how close would this race be?

 

It all depends on each bikes setup, rider size(have noticed most on Banshees these days are kids who weigh about 100 friggin pounds and us older heavier guys 200+ are on 250R) and rider skill level. Setup is the biggest factor though.

 

right off the bat I wanna say banshee but how many stock atcs are out there? Or banshees for that matter. I too agree that rider size has a lot to do with it.

 

i am going to have to say a banshee but i am not sure

 

It depends on the race. Straight line, probably the Banshee. But for anything else, it has to be the 'R'.

 

I can personally vouch that the R is faster, stock for stock. I had a K&N fiilter and everything else was stock on my bike. Same for my buddies banshee. We were about equal in abilities and I was about 50 lbs more than him. We raced on a red cinder road and I pulled him from the start beat him. These bikes are so close, whoever gets a better start will be the one winning the race.

 

Well this subject is like beating a dead horse...with that said, its kinda like the rest of the guys have already stated. Its all about the money. Stock for stock the banshee would have a hard time with the trike. But, build for build with a good wheelie bar and the banshee will still have a very hard time with the trike...as long as you can keep the trike straight on the track. The trike is somewhat lighter, which will be a very big advantage, but the handling of the trike makes it a little challenging. Now, I have seen some very fast TRX sand blast some very fast banshees aswell. Just my 2 cents [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
