Lots of Banshee Triples and fast bikes!

Thought this video was pretty sick. A ton of these banshees are 1000cc+

False advertising!

You said banshee triples...I was expecting a banshee to triple a jump...which the likes of has never been seen before.

[Zakradu398]

HAHA, I didn't think of that. I'll try to find a vid of that to even it out :blah:

[chucked]

I assumed it was banshee 3 cylinders

Zak you are a gentleman and a scholar. I await these videos.

[Zakradu398]

People actually ride MX on those?:eek2:

People used to race them along side 250R's...Catch is they would use Laeger,Lonestar, Etc. 250R geometry frames.... Here is a link to one of the nicest ones I have ever seen...

That guy has a sweet suspension set up. If I remember correctly its a Lonestar -2" swinger, Lonestar +3+1 a arms and 19.5" Custom Axis shocks.

[89trx250r]

Nah what I linked was full laeger bike with protrax front end...

[Zakradu398]

The one in the vid I posted

[Zakradu398]

That red banshee is prolly real shotty on bottom end also, 34mm carbs on a stroke stroke stock bore banshee is a horrible idea unless your going 300ft at a time. Wouldn't work too well for MX IMO

I hate when people act like banshee's can't handle. Most of them have never ridden a banshee with an aftermarket suspension setup, they're fun rides! I can throw mine around way better then I could my 400ex.

DMCBanshee MX's his as well.

i think thats the main difference, lol the ones i rode stock handled horribly even on a flattrack, but they will scoot if hooked up.

Yes I have actually... lol. Quite a few buddies of mine have well modded 450's with suspension work and even they admit they love riding mine.

I don't like 450's feel... I feel like I'm on top of it instead of "in" them and i feel less comfortable hauling *** and whipping it around. Whereas on my banshee I feel like it can be manhandled and I'm very comfortable ripping on it, as well as I like the way it jumps.

[Hondamaster5505]

And yes stock, the suspension blows butthole on a banshee. I rode one season with stock suspension and couldn't take it any longer. Rode harsh, turned like crap, barely absorbed hard impacts, it just sucked.

Now my front end is awesome, soaks up everything and rails corners. I have +2+1 Lonestar's with works triple rates. But my back leaves some to be desired with the original worn out rear shock. It's due for a rebuild with better parts..

[beastlywarrior]

Same with my warrior even my friends with 450s love it
