Default Banshee Vs. Predator

I got to race with a '04 polaris predator today on my banshee. My machine is set up with 14/44 gearing with 22 inch razrs on the back, k&n with snorkle removed, stock pipes, and the only other thing, which I don't think matters, are stock bore wiseco pistons. We did a rolling start on asphalt and as I was clicking through the gears, my buddy on the predator said that he just watched me pull away. He said that when we were both topped out he might have been gaining on me, but very little, if any at all. Anybody else have a similar experience racing a predator with their banshee?

You gotta love it when you smoke a bike and you are down 150cc's on displacment. Banshee, the little engine that could, can, and will, kick some @ss. Put a set of pipes on that bad boy and they will open you up to a whole new world.

Haha - when my Raptor was just Piped and Jet-kit'd with Proflow intake , it was
beating Predators by 10 lengths in 300ft sometimes ( average maybe 5 lengths).

I didnt need a 686 for Predators - Mine was built to **** off big 2-strokes.

(figured I had to defend the "blue", since Im reading Polaris guys talking crazy !!) hehe
