oops. sorry for the double post. can't seem to delete it though.

 

65mph, thats what i was always told they ran stock, but a set of pipes and jets and that 65 would be history... i love how easy it is to wake a banshee up

 

pipes and jets = not going to make your top speed go up by anymore than 1-2 mph unless you build a motor that runs up to like 13k rpms.. then you might see 3 more mph

 

Does anyone here know if a stock banshee will keep up with a yfz 450 and a trx 450?

I just bought one from my uncle today for 500 bucks. 2003 model. but anyways my budys both have 450s that are bone stock just a set of tires on both of them.

They cant be to much faster can they?

 

You won't be far off because of the acceleration on the Banshee, The Banshee tops out in stock form right around 68mph. The 450's hit right around 73-75mph.

 

For 500 bucks you can't complain!!! I kinda disagree with most about the stock form of the 'shee. In my experience the stock 450's will kill the 'shee in acceleration but, that should be a null point. You need PIPES!!! Find a set off craigslist or ebay then rejet. About a 30m to hour process. Your jaw will drop so low you'll trip on it after the first ride.

 

I've never raced a stock Banshee so I don't know. But most 2 strokes accelerate like a raped ape.

 

They do. Compared to old school 4-strokes but, the 450's are pretty sick. Like I said, with a set of pipes now, a raped ape it is!!

Another problem is that the powerband is so narrow that it's a trick to use it properly. Pipes will fix that also.

 

As Koopa stated, the 450's are extremely quick off the line, a stock banshee will not hang. Even with pipes you're barely gonna hang. 450's are track bikes, they have the acceleration for turns, etc.

 

I am 16 and i work for my dad full time for 10 bucks an hour. so i can afford to do some mods. Say pipes, sprockets, jetting, bigger carbs, air filters, and maybe even cylinder work. i get payed weekly at 300 bucks or more. i can save up for bigger mods.

Are there mods out there to make a banshee maybe a little faster then a 450? i heard a smaller back sprocket could get you 1-2 mph. It would be nice to have a faster quad then my budys anyways i am looking forward to putting dividends into it aswell. Now some of you say banshees aren't as aggressive at trails? i can get body mods aswell if i should.

Hit me back, thanks guys
