You must have read my mind 87Banshee250sx. I was going to make the same comparison.

 

I felt the same way when i first got my shee, I was test riding it at the guys house that i got it from... At first i was like this thing sucks it was doging and doging then out of no were her comes the power i was like holy ****.. When i went down the street the second time i punched it, i got the front end up in 1st to 5th and i was like OMG this thing is all stock and has this much power!! on top of all that it really had no compression at all it needed a new top end... I was thinking that night what the he!! is that thing going to be like with the new top end and mods... When i got the new top end on it it flys...


Right now I am tearing down my shee for a complete overhaul all new plastic paint mods....etc...

 

yeah,the shee is the ultimate 2 stroke top end screamer,,,it is pure and simple 2 stroke performance,,with high rpm power.if yamaha has put the power valve on it in the first place,i don't think they called it banshee anymore,cayze it make a whole different engine with TORQUE.

 

The banshee has blackwaters and I still can't keep nthe tires from spinning. are there any tires that can tame the banshee?
