What these young men don't realize is that it costs money to be the fastest, 2 or 4 stroke. While it's easier and cheaper to get 80 HP from a Banshee, a 80 HP Banshee won't win drag races. For something fast to rip around on though, Banshee is a great choice.Good luck with the sale and don't be afraid to part it out, you'll make more.

This is very true if you are looking to compete on the drag track then you will need just as much money to compete in the 2 stroke class as in the 4 stroke class. Going to a 2 stroke you will be will be going up a class in my oppion. But if you just want to get faster than you are now and arent worried about competing on the track in your own class then good luck. Hope you make the right choice for what you are looking for.

Be careful, Banshee are very addictive. And easy to work on as well.
I've seen lots of 4 mills making 100+hp. So you might want to go with a 10 mill, and make 130+hp. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

yes, thats true 2 strokes are faster due to having to only make 1/2 the revs to complete combustion, also they have fewer moving parts and are lighter. but they have their drawbacks also, and i bet you can name a few.
