    raced a Banshee and was rather suprised

    Well I raced a 199? Banshee (most likely 97or newer) with a 2-1 pipe on it that looked like hell and was jetted and had some air filters or something like that. My 250R is jetted (not very welL I might add) with a .040 overbore and wiseco piston and torque reeds. So we go down a dirt road and from a dead stop race. What a sight, I didn't see him the entire time, just hauling balls, and he couldn't even catch up on the top end. So I'm like ok, we race from a 1st gear slow roll, and I just murdured that thing again, I think he kept up untill 3rd gear or so but who knows I wasn't looking. Once again same story, killed him. I swung the rear end out in 5th gear at a tight corner.... talk about hair raising... Overall I was very impressed and can't wait to sort out my jetting and slightly bent frame. I'm also glad because I just got a job today too so I'll be able to put some money in her.

    With a 1986 250r and a Banshee it all depends on the rider usually. Unless the other just has a way powerfuly machine then the other does.

    I wasn't so sure as to how well that thing was running or the guy knew how to ride. We weigh the same, but of course my trike is 50-70 lbs. lighter. He had soem shitty mineral oil and it was smoking quite a bit.
