I'll give you that 300ft could be a different story. That's a long distance and the 'shee is definitely going to be longer in the tooth than it's competitor. My experience was the same as the poster in the other thread. I jumped off the line so much quicker, every time that he couldn't catch up before I hit top speed, which is what we always marked as finish (first to top speed).

Yeah, the jump might not be as much as you think. I don't have any experience with newer 450's all "First Gen" if you will. 04 yamaha, 05 honda and such. Prior to bigger bore yammy's and redesigns of the honda's in '06. For the most part they were neck and neck. My bro could just get the jump on me with the 'shee.

Guess if I'm wrong I'm wrong. Your wrong, your wrong. Just my expereince I'm talking about here. No hard feelings man.

 

To many variables to argue about something like this honestly lol.

 

hey i have a nice yamaha warrior now and its a 2003 i know its sort of off topic but im new to this site and dont know how to make my own thread.. anyway, so i think my warrior is t slow for me. for mods i have an fmf megamax pipe, stage 2 jetkit and k&n airfilter. so im gunna sell it to buy a banshee and theres a relly nice one im looking at but its a 2001 and has fullpipes and other mods and it looks sweet and im selling mine for 3700 and this one is 4000 any suggestions about the banshee and warrior on diferenes. i ride my warrior on long loging roads some trails jumps wheelies you know just driving fats and having fun tell me what you think ...thanks!

 

piped 'shee will be a big jump in power. Your jaw will drop. But, it's not a jumper, then again neither is the warrior. It's definantly a different beast when it comes to wheelies also. Probably take you a bit to learn.

 

thank for the advice, any more would be helpful do you think thats what i should get for speed im kind of a speed demon and i have lots of space to drive it. any pros and cons about the bike ('shee) aswell

 

also alot of my friends are starting to turn towards upgrading there dirtbike and atvs to the nw 450's and one of my buddies wants a 700 raptor so i want somthing that will spank them aha will the banshee do this with full pipes and air filters and re jetted?

 

It' will be on par with piped 450's (drag race wise). Comes down to the rider at that point. 450's are very light and very well balanced. They can burn threw corners and leap skyward where the 'shee's 30 year old frame cannot do either very well.

 

If you are going to race a stock shee against any piped four stroke, you will more than likely loose. Four stroke gets out of the hole a good leigth, then the guy on the shee cant hear when to shift.
