We can drag the 1/8 mile on asphalt. There's a nice track at Gateway Int raceway in Madison county IL..... I won't hit 200mph in 660ft. But I will spank your vett real bad!!!!!!

 

Well that even better, you are pretty close to St. Joe state park MO. We can do some sand drag'n.
You'll need to bring a fast quad... Do a search on St. Joe state park........

 

I live about 80 mile north from you, in Glen Carbon IL.

 

Man, it sounds like you are very close to where I grew up riding!! My cousin (whom I have ridden with all my life) lives in Park Hills, it used to be Flat River. Anyways, since I was old enough to shift, I was riding all of the chat dumps in Flat River. The Sugar Bowl, Rivermines, Sports Complex, Elvins hill climb, and the one in the middle of Flat River (Park Hills) with the tower on top of it. You know these places?? And yes, I have ridden every square foot of St. Joe. Flat River in my opinion used to be one of the best riding places there was!!

 

Im not crazy!! You would definately kill me in 1/8 mile!

I get 0-60 in about 3.8 secs. You probably get 0-60 in about .8 secs.

 

20 years ago Flat River was great! It was all open and you could ride for miles. Its a state park now.
It's still nice, just not as open.... And they closed Elvin's hill about 10 years ago. I still have family in Farmington......

 

Yeah its sad. Almost all of the riding areas are closed down. All except St. Joe. Powerline trails used to be awesome too.

 

a stock shee,(newer models) has 42 rear wheel hp on the dyno,
a piped one (500$) is and will always be the illess power gains on any atv ever made...

 

Ok, I didn't understand that last post. I find it hard to believe that a Banshee would show 42 rwhp in stock form. That means they are making about 50 at the crank before you even put a pipe on it. I am not saying it is impossible, it just doesn't sound reasonable to me.

Second, could you restate your second point? I don't know what "illess" means.

Thanks,

Ron

 

ALL I got to say is HA HA HA. Someone at yamaha was trying to sell you a banshee! Banshee's have been virtually unchanged since 1987. The motor is EXACTLY how it always has been. Probably the biggest change that ever occured to the shee is the going from j-arms to a-arms in like 90 or 91.

The new ones are the same as they have ALWAYS been. They didnt do anything to them to get another 6-8 horse out of them! Parts from that motor, well pretty much the whole case, is still the original from back in the 70's. The only difference back then was they power valved the beast!

Sorry, you are wrong, and DSNUT 's reason to question you is totally called for!
