I raced my friends 400ex and i rolled on him at about 15 and then he hit it and we were my front end with his front end till about the end of 3rd at 60 and i started gainin a little then i slowed down cuz we were comming up to my road. It was pretty tight though just rednecks ****in around.


Peace,
Wil

wish it was that easy around here. neighbors are dicks where i live, and the city cracks down on everything. we were riding my friends 50 out on the street and neighbors called the cops on us, we were only out for like 5 minutes. anyway, the cop was cool about it and basically said he didnt care cause he rides bikes too. but its hard to ride bikes in the city, gotta go like 1hr away up to the desert to ride.

probably gonna move to OR later. CA has too many laws and costs too much to live.

i raced him with my s10, 88 2.5l 5 speed short bed reg. cab im a crazy driver i keep that shit pinned out till it dont wanna go no more then i slam it in to the next gear. Yeah i have a 89 honda 250r it wastes alot around here. I live in the north west part of oregon and we dont have to worry about cops or nothin with our bikes, neigbors dont care they got hella bikes to so we just ride all day and night and no one says a damn thing. Ohh me and my neigbors are all crazy to so no one will really say shit anyways.

Peace,
Wil

Banshees are overrated along with raptors. my friends stock 400ex ran around 9.2in the 1/8 mile so i doubt your buddie knows how to ride the quad yet.

he siad they started from a roll which helps the truck a lil and no question after 60 your gonana gaim on a 400ex cuz it cant hit 70 without mods. I raced a grizz with my truck i beat it one and we were racing in a feild. It always took me outta the hole. My blaster always got beat outta the hole but would start to real the grizz a lil but i never caught it we would run out of feild. workin on gettin a raptor.

raptor overrated!? hahahaha obviosly you've never ridin one with just a few mods... will spank any honda any day..... one of ma boys spent over 2grand in mods on his 400ex & it still wont beat ma brotherinlaws raptor with few mods.... i havent ridin that new honda450 but i would deffinetly go with the yamaha450f, from all my life of ridin dirt bikes/4 wheelers yamahas are so much faster than hondas & thas why im a dedicated yamaha fan 4 life.

to correct everyone. 1994 banshees ran 110 bone stock, after that year yamaha started slowing them down cause pepz were getting hurt. i have a 01 and gps said 82 bone stock, and it depends with a banshee wether your on the street or not. 2 strokes dont get alot of traction on anything but pavement. in the dirt,grass, gravel, and snow, i get through 4th gear b4 i am really movin good, i walk all over 400ex's all the time, even some with a few mods. and with pipes and 112 octane and some motor work banshees can see over 120, and dont let me get into turbos, 135 in the 1/4 is the norm from a turbo shee with slicks and a wheelie bar. but to get it right. 04 is the last year of the shee and theyll be runnin 79 out the box. but they were alot faster in the earlier 90's, and just some fyi the carbs are the biggest reason they are going slower. older ones had 2 38mm carbs now they only have 28 or 26mm's. so there is some shee history for ya, and just so i dont start an argument. a 400 ex will werk a shee on the mx track and a dirt 1/4 mile and in the sand, but on the street shees rule.

sorry for the long post
