Point well taken, there's no doubt that the banshee could have benefited greatly from updates over the years. But since its the only high performance 2 stroke still in production from the big names its competition is only with 4 strokes. While its not quite up to par with them chassis wise, it still holds its own in stock and bolt on performance with the big thumpers of today. Of course modified its no contest unless you start pulling in another 2 stroke from the past. I'm just saying its the only one of its kind left and on its way out, so there's not as much to compare it to.

 

Dat be true!
