This is going to sound really dumb to some of you "veteran riders" but how does the powerband feel on a banshee? <-----stupid huh. How is this turning thing to i have heard that it doesn't turn good at all, is this true? As long as it turns good enough for me to go around corners then its fine with me. Well i think i have run out of stupid questions to ask so see you people later.

The powerband of a banshee is a peak. low RPM, you don't have that much power, mid end is just so short it almost doesn't exist and throws you into topRPM, where PEAK horsepower says it all, you have a lot of power on a very little powerband...well, vey little is a bit exagerated, you can easily stay in the powerband if you're used to clutches...and have some space, because you quickly reach unreasonable speeds for tight trails. Maybe that's why you said it didn't turn sogood, it's just that you reach high speeds very quickly, but I can handle easily a very tight 1st gear trail between trees...but I have to be careful and push hard on the handlebar, but I don't have to use the clutch....I don't get why people have to use the clutch to go, unless you get out of the woods.
PS. I love my banshee. Putting pipes will make you get 1000 RPM more in to end (that's what I lost by switching to stock pipes).
