a rider at 190 pounds stock worn out tires and a k&n air filter and a boost bottle on a paved surface
but still i cant see the outlander catching up on my top end

 

I'm pretty sure an Outty would win.

 

if some1 here gets that bike im pretty sure it will not run with the banshee or ds 650
four wheel drives are not racing bikes am i right ?

 

You're right. But that doesn't mean they can't be faster...


And the Outty is faster than a Banshee, and, I believe, a DS.

 

I think I put up a pic that showed a Outlander beating a D650, and 2 YFZ 450s back on page one or 2 of this thread. I beat them all the time at the sand drags. These 4x4s are entered in to races all over the country year around. So to answer your ??? No you are not right.

 

He's right in the fact that MOST of them aren't designed to be racing quads. But the Outty designers obviously had something in mind when they designed the whole bike if it can beat a Banshee and 450s which are typical racing machines.

 

A banshee will only do low 70's stock. If you think it does more than your wrong. Dirt Wheels tested all the two-strokes back in '88 on a dragstrip. The Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki 250s were about 70-72 mph, banshee about 73 and the Suzuki 500 74-75. This was done in '88 but I am pretty sure Yamaha did nothing to that motor to make it faster over the years. A stock Outlander 800 on the other hand will do around 80. Unless you gained about 10mph from a filter and a boost bottle, the Outlander will catch your top end and beat it.

 

Exactly..

 

Not that ive ridden any of those machines, but that test was almost 20yrs ago. Nothing has changed since then?????

 

I have had what I thought was a fast banshee.It would smoke an outy but keep in mind it wasn't anywhere near stock.Years ago a stock banshee was fast but technology has helped the newer quads alot.Yamaha done almost nothing to the banshee except for plastic color.

Even though a stock banshee isn't fast by today's standards,there is a real beast in it waiting to be unleashed.
I will say that not just anyone should ride a stock banshee.They do take some getting use to.
