350x vs banshee

[Psyonyde]

i was just wondering if a stock 350x would beat a stock banshee, in a woods, or in a drag race...i know its a stupid question, but i'm just wondering

[ATCnut]

I've never seen a stock shee :-D

[bentwrench]

not another one

[BlueWheeler]

Yes, yes it can spank a stock banshee in a race.

HA HA just playing, I think the 350X would not spank a stock Shee.
The Shee is just a bad ass machine. trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro I do not think the stock 660 raptor can spank a stock shee. That will be my next bike when I can afford to get rid of the 250r

[cmracer15]

yur askin if a 350 2 stoke will beat a 350 4 stroke??? take a wild guess. i would say the X would get swamped. but it doesnt look to me like you have either of these machines??? So why ya askin?? Go buy ya one and find out

[Joel85350X]

The X doesn't stand a chance. Even through the woods the stability of four wheels and the sheer straightaway speed of the 2 stroke will toast the 350X. Sure, there are some that say they could beat a 'shee on a 350X, but put 2 equal riders against each other and the 'shee wins, hands down.

It is not a fair race, though, because they are not even close to being in the same class.

lets just say i completely disagree with everything you said and leave it at that. no hard feelings.

[ATC crazy]

trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro I do not think the stock 660 raptor can spank a stock shee.

The Raptor will win during woods riding and in top speed, but probably not in acceleration.

[Joel85350X]

Bill, I knew you would, and there is no hard feelings. Everyone is entitled to their own oppinion.

I almost added in that post that you would definately disagree, but I decided to go ahead and let you post. :)

I would pay money to see an experienced banshee trail rider be beaten through a trail ride...by you. (riders of equivalent riding capabilities)

[BlueWheeler]

Thanks ATC Crazy I did not know. It would make sense that it would spank it cause of the low end torque of the 4 stroke. Plus the top end, but in acceleration like you said the 2 stroke will spank it.
That is what it's all about though. Getting slammed back when your shee takes off hard

[ATC crazy]

Getting slammed back when your shee takes off hard

Yeah...nothing beats the thrill of high HP in a light-weight machine huh? :twisted:

so how much are we talking :D :D :D i need some serious cash for my lawyers and i still have my mostly stock ( no motor or suspension work) 86 350X

Yeah I love it when the R hits it's peak in the gear and it pulls really hard. AWSOME feeling....

i know a guy with a 100% stock shee even has worn down rubber i bet he would race any 350 out there (and win most the time)

[Joel85350X]

HAHA! What a fun guy.

Tell me your oppinion, do you think I could outrun a banshee on a 350x through the woods one at a time during a time trial if I was equally advanced on either machine :?:

[MR ATC]

i can't tell you what you can do. i can only tell you what i've done. and in some of the woods i ride a Banshee won't physically fit in some places. other places require steady low end power not on-off switch powerbands like a Banshee. if i can beat 12,000.00 custom built lager chassied trx 250R's in the woods i can beat a stock Banshee. weather you can or not is up to only you.

[Joel85350X]

Ok, I see your point. :)

[NOS_350X]

mr atc we can tell your skill in tha pic on trailprotrailpro altavar (spelling?) you cant even keep her flat when you jump how are you goin to keep up with a shee?

[ATC crazy]

avatar* good point tho............lol roflmao!!!

[Kilborg]

In real woods, the stock 350x is vastly superior to the banshee. I'm talking bone stock. Banshees are easily modified, and often are.

[BlueWheeler]

I think the Banshee is the # 1 prefered and most modified quad out there. All I see out at sand lake are banshees. Sometimes you get some freak on a 660 rap but they always get spanked by the shee

[ATC crazy]

Yea...Banshees kick arse in the dunes, but in the woods, 250R's, 400EX's, and Raptors rule. And the 350X ;)

[atc250r]

You can modify a Banshee but...what's the point? It will cost you twice as much to do the same thing that a stock 250r will do.

Now the Banhsee does have its place. They kick ass in the desert or the dunes. Give the banshee a place to stretch its wings and it will take off.

But I prefer less parts to break, more low end flexibility and more money left over for aftremarket goodies.

I did help build and tune a 520 Banshee with YZ pistons when I was out in Arizona and man was that thing scary! I loved it!

and ATC Crazy, plkmonster2.

no you can't tell my skill but i can tell your skill when you don't regognize a cross up. not to many riders can purposly do that on a trike obviously you three are three of them...lmfao

NOS_350X is that you doing the no footer in your avatar??? i was doing that on trikes 15yrs ago.





all in fun...don't go blowing any gaskets

[NOS_350X]

wow i dont jump my trike that much if so i would be doing cordovas and things like that i feel more relaxed with the traning wheel and if you where realy doin that 15 years ago then you where truely a trend setter with all the frestyle stuff now jumping is easy jumping and doing tricks is easy now jumping doing tricks and making it look good now thats hard

[MR ATC]

if you where realy doin that 15 years ago then you where truely a trend setter with all the frestyle stuff now jumping is easy jumping and doing tricks is easy now jumping doing tricks and making it look good now thats hard

i sent some pics to Billy and he posted them a while ago of me doing no footers over a ditch on my 86 350X the pictures were not great quality but you could tell what i was doing. they were taken in 1988 right around the same time i started doing no handers and other tricks.
Billy if you still have them re post them

[Billy Golightly]

This the one you mean?

[Billy Golightly]

Or this one?

[NOS_350X]

ok ok thats perty good i dont have anyting on my x that i can top that with

[MR ATC]

yep those first two are the ones i was talking about. the second one was actually a heel clicker but the photo was timed wrong. the last one is actually an attempt to do a no footed cross up you cant see my other foot but it is off the peg. i did not get a good cross on the bars if you look closely my arm hit my leg not letting me get full movement.


Thanks Billy

LOL...I was only jokin. :D I knew thats what you were probably tryin to do.

[SpeedBump]

Not jokin or being a putz, but I was wondering if it could be done (multiple times without crashing hard) on a 3 wheeler? Here is a pic of me and a buddy doing them on our quads. The jump is a pretty flat landing tabletop. We were landing about 20' out (give or take a few feet) As you can see from the tires.....just gettin to the suspension.....then BANG....jewels off the tank.....OUCHY!!!!!
First...a good pic of the hard landing....with hands.....
http://users.adelphia.net/~cinnamonlou/pics/craighardland.jpg

Then the landing ....no hands.....you can imagine the impact.....BANG!
(Check the tires starting to compress, cool eh?)
http://users.adelphia.net/~cinnamonlou/pics/craignohandland.jpg

Here is my buddy Buck gettin some nice air....he didn't land with no hands.... too nervous :oops:
http://users.adelphia.net/~cinnamonlou/pics/buckjump.jpg

If anyone has done the no-hand landing on a trike let me know how it went....I am very curious.

[plkmonster2]

sorry to insult you mr. atc, i know a lot of tricks, but i thought it was funny how he used it against you..... ive tried a superman, it hurtz nutz!!! if you don't sit right.... speedbump, sweet pics, that had to be a hard hit to moosh those tires like that..

[NOS_350X]

speed that last one is perty good only one problem you have a problem of makeing it look good when you have one of the bulbs out in your headlight


just messin with you that last one is bad ass

[BIG BAD RED]

it kinda looks like he is layin it over tho

[SpeedBump]

Here is Buck with a decent no-footer.
http://users.adelphia.net/~cinnamonlou/pics/bucknofoot.jpg
This is my other buddy on his Crap.....oops! Raptor. Not bad for a Yammy. It landed really hard, but looked good in the air.
