Default um..what? trx450r faster than banshee? how?

..................................ummmm im really confused as to how this happens.. looking online i see that the trx450R tops out at 75MPH.. right? and then i see that ATVConnection said the banshee tops out at 68MPH

how can a 350cc 2 stroke have a higher top speed than a 450cc 4 stroke...

easy....lots and lots of aluminum.

i really dont think it does top out more than the shee, but then again who cares?? not many people with shees keep them stick, and once they throw on simple bolt-ons, it really wakes the beast up.

Why do we need to answer fast? And who cares what top speed you can get your bike to go if it takes 3 miles of road to get to it? Since most manufacters set their bikes up to stop in the mid 70's or lower regardless of power output I really dont know why everyone wants to compare top speeds. Its like comparing top speed on pickup trucks, most are factory governed to around 100 mph so why not pay more attention to accelleration?

Yes if you take the baffel out of the exhaust it will give the bike a little more horsepower.. but if its too much you will have to change the jettings to re-gain the loss of back pressure.

I like top speed in a totally different affect of quickness.

My major goal is how fast a bike accelerates.. then when i want to top out at high MPH i will change the gearing.

Gearing makes a whole lot of difference in a bike and how it rides!!

Why on earth would anyone ever just drill out the stock shee exhaust, Shee exhaust is a dime a dozen, you can get a good aftermarket setup for much much much cheeper than that of a fourstroke. And the power gains off of a properly installed and jetted aftermarket pipe are amazing on the shee. It is much more effective to just lay down some cash, get an entire kit and install it, you get more bang for your buck that way, and it works every time...
