That and the low end torque of a fourstroke make them great for hill climbs. 2-strokes have to rely on sheer speed to get up a hill.
Lmao...Low end torque sucks for hill climbs,you need midrange and top end power to climb decent sizes hills.Ever seen a Banshee having to downshift during an hill climb, once your on the pipe it just stays on the pipe, while a stock 400ex will have to downshift to avoid bogging down as it loses speed since it has no mid/top power...So in fact it is quite the opposite 4-strokes rely on sheer speed to get up a hill while the 2-strokes will power their way up given the right tires.

Also the minute you start messing with that banshee and hopping it up you better get ready to start wrenching on it because that baby with break and that is just common on 2 strokes.
Oh god...I pretty much never wrench on my Shee and it is far far from stock, the only stock parts left on it are the frame,tranny and gas tank i think!!! You will have problems with a modded Shee if; 1.A clown did the work 2.A clown jetted it 3.A clown does the maintenance 4. A clown owns it 5. You are not running the proper parts to match the added power 6.You are the type of clown that destroys everything he owns.

Avoid everything i typed above and you can have a very very reliable modded Shee putting out 100+HP ,cut corners and it will rapidly turn into a POS but the same could be said about modded 4 strokes.

My z has got plenty up top, too. Judging by your pics imback, your bike is in nice shape, which tells me two things, one, you're all for show, and two, you've yet to tackle a real hill (mountainside) that'll suck your power till low end is all you got left to get your bike to the top, or lose it forever.

These pics were taken right after i finished the makeover so now it has some scratches here and there,I only ride sand and dirt anyway so yes it is still nice looking.You know absolutely nothing about Banshees if you think your Z can even compare to them for mid/top end power,oh and by the way you will never find a hill that will suck my Banshee's power till low end...
