Any 450 will beat a banshee. As far as after market parts I'm sure you can find pipes and things but, probably not as much as you could a Honda 450R or YFZ450.

Again, stock for stock any 450 will beat a banshee in a drag as well as the track. With equivalent mods the 450 will still beat the banshee.

Every time it comes up banshee vs anything nobody believes a banshee can lose. Banshee's have insane torque. They feel faster than anything but time and time again I watch banshee's fall to 450's. Out here where i ride we have 2. An '03 and a '06 I think it is. Last model made 05, 06 which ever. I watch them get beat every time they go up against any 450R or yfz450. Watched 06 get slaughtered by a 700R which is expected.

Don't get me wrong. Banshee's are fast. Heck they smoke me but the 450's have more top end power. Typically a banshee will get a 450 on bottom but they always come back in mid and top end for the win.

This is talking about drag race's. On a track I don't have experience but from what I've heard banshees don't have good enough suspension to hang.

Sorry if I came across aggressive Fulltiltrider. I really didn't mean anything by it. But you guys have brought up a good point that has me curious. How much more does the mods help the banshee vs 4-stroke. Say mods like pipes and jetting, reeds.
