I've never riden a stock Banshee, but from what I hear they aren't *that* fast. I think it comes down to potential. Banshees can be opened up very easily and have more potential(more CC) in the long run.

I'm not real sure. It's got 2 ~125cc cylinders so I would imagine it can go pretty big.

Here is a 535cc Banshee: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-T...spagenameZWD1V

My bike weighs a bit over 200lbs stock. Not sure if it's lost any weight with what I've done to it.....

they both are fast lol
Lol how much crack are you smoking? A stock Banshee has about 30 hp and a 250R has even less than that. Stock banshee's are slow becuase of the pipes. Just changing the pipes and rejetting can double the horsepower. You can do whatever you want to a 250r and no matter what I can beat it on a Banshee. 250r's are slow no matter what you find people on the internet say

912cc 248whp. Its a twister motor but its still all Banshee parts:




I have a feeling this arguement is going to be like kicking a retarted dog. Bottom line is there is nothing else out there that can compete with a banshee in top end performance. If you think 250's are that great, get one we'll race and you'll understand my point. Last weekend there was a Suzuki 450 dropped, running slicks, front skinnies, wheelie bar, cam, ignition, pipe and ------- alchohol and we repeatedly kicked its ***. And I hear all the time how the new 4-strokes are fast as ---- and will smoke a Banshee. They can't even keep up running alchohol

30hp?? Are you sure? That seems awfuly weak. I'm pretty sure my bike came stock with around 50hp.

I'm pretty sure its around 35 to the wheels or something gay like that. The stock pipes are a huge power killerAnd I doubt your bike is 50 to the wheels stock. Here's a stock Banshee with T6's (the pipes my black one has)
