Whether you're a 2 stroke guy or 4 stroke guy, bike gang or quad gang, everyone needs and deserves to give a banshee a spin at least once in their lifetime...
Cool video bro. Brings back memories for me… in early 2000s I started taking my banshee to the track, entered a few MX races like this and it didn’t take long for me to upgrade to a YFZ. I can see it in the video, the Banshee when pushed hard on a track with jumps is just a touch too unpredictable for me. I give you credit for taking her to the track my man! If I didn’t race I wouldn’t have sold my banshee. It was more fun to ride almost everywhere else. Glad to see, I’m building another banshee now and while it won’t race, I might find an open practice somewhere and dabble
Thanks!! It was definitely the most fun race I've raced!! Shee was a handful on the track. I think i could have been a lot smoother on a 450 but im not so sure it would have been as fun lol unfortunately i had to let it go a year ago. Im thinkin about trying a trx250r build next
Bro u got my respect just for putting that on the track, definitely not a bike known for its handling characteristics. And not to mention heavy. But all said and done, AWSOME job man.
@@itsjustahmed8927 The powerband is why. They really like screaming in high rpms but down low where you need to be for turns and instant acceleration they just fall flat on their faces.
You really tamed that banshee. Very impressed with your riding. Crazy to see a banshee rip that mx track, you definetly got that thing dialed! Keep ripping that thing for sure, i could see people turning there heads to that LOL, "yoooo wtf a banshee???!!" Thats sick man.
Thats awesome dude! Shee had a hard time running down the 450 lol but thats cool. 450 puts the power to the ground constantly. Each time u gotta let off the 2 stroke the 450 pulls off another tenth. Sweet vid man!! I want to build a shee for mx
Thanks man 🤙 not gonna make it on the 8th. Got a big trail ride planed at FRO that weekend but definitely plan on making it to the Memorial day weekend race
I see a lot of people making comments, let’s see them racing a banshee and smokin 90% of the field of mostly 450’s. Anyway, great job man. I’ve never had the opportunity to take my banshee on a track yet, my banshee is 80% ready for track day. What are some of the main mods you have done to make your shee track ready?
Thanks man.. Good suspension is key. The Elka stage 3 shocks on lone star a arms with the dominator axle was the best money i ever spent on any bike. Motor is stock
My man VEARY and I must day this twice VEARY impressive no doubt u most def get a 2 thumbs up from me I have one brand new. i dont ride it smfh but u make me want to ride I'm in Jersey link up I will
😆 had to add that part. Really im a dirt bike rider with a banshee layin around. Felt like i was undercover 🤣 2 way different rides but both are tons of fun
Better rider than I am! Nice job 👏 that was impressive. I have 2006 i bought new. Completely setup for MX. 25k into it. But I'm getting old and don't ride tracks anymore. Sending out all 3 elka shocks for revalve and new springs. Set the bike up for just trail stuff.
Thanks!! This thing is a blast! Crazy how much money we can put into these machines and keep a smile lol mine is a 2000 I bought in rough shape for 1500. I actually set mine up for trails and hill climbs from the beginning but ended up loving it on the track. Now I need a track set up
@@32to1 yeah parts keep getting more and more expensive. It's crazy. I'm just glad I built it back when I bought it new. Freshen up the motor now. Be done in couple weeks. You sure can ride! Keep the videos coming. I just finished watching the hill climb and trails. Looks like a great place. What state is this?
@32to1 started a new channel. There are only 4 videos so far. My original 2006 she is powdercoated. This is more of a XC build but I'm thinking this will be the track bike as well. Minus one swingarm and new long travel AARMS
A lot lol elka stage 3 shocks on lone star A arms with dominator axle and +2 swingarm. Oversized rad and billet impeller. prm bumpers with light bars and full skids. I did have a 4 mil 421cc cub setup with 35mm carbs and 21mm domes cool head (thing was nasty) but it only lasted 20 hours so i put it back to stock... For now
@@32to1 he got a used banshee and then in the winter he took the whole thing apart and built it again with all new parts and frame, and we have our own track at our house
Damn. Its hard thinkin about the past! I have a built CR85 that I got for damn near “free”, im never letting this 2 stroke go. Its built from head to toe, my lil savage. I dont care its too small, I ride/build minibikes
You could try some different pipes. You should be ripping out of those corners much harder than the 450s. Off a dig they should get you but shouldn't be anything to reel them in.
@@32to1 toomey T5's are the pipes i run they are really good in trails and even better at racing. And i used to run 22" holeshots. It just seemed like you were high in the rpms and barely moving compared to the 450s
Have yu ever have issues shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear when wide open? A lot of times it would not shift. Probably because i rarely use the clutch because my left index finger is fused on a 90° but even using the clutch it did not want to shift at WOT
@@32to1 no ive never had a problem power shifting but if i power shift i left off the throttle and shift then get back into it the only time i hold it wide open mid shift is then i use the clutch
Thanks man! Its got elka stage 3 on lonestar a arms dominator axle +2 swingarm. I did have a 421 4mil for a while but it only lasted 20 hours so went back to stock... for now
@@claudeperron780 yeah pretty sure i was sold Chinese carbs that looked legit. I was unaware of the serial number missing meant fake. It was nasty for a limited time until the crank bearing went and trashed everything. Might try that port and 28s because it feels way under powered now. Also need to do some shift mods because you can probly tell in the vid that it didnt want to shift to 3rd quite a bit
You can tell the banshee is just too much for a track it literally just wants to kill someone in a straight line. Maybe if you did a hybrid trx 450 or yfz450 with the banshee motor it would handle on a lot better for the track
it's better you drive 4 stroke!!! 2 stroke is too much for you ..... you slow down where the 2 stroke really makes power!!! too scared my friend🤷🏼♂️ 2 stroke ist Crazy people…. Or more more More Gas 😉

Great seeing 34 year old technology keeping up
Haha hell yeah haven't seen a shee on a mx track since back in the day awesome video
I have practise a bit!😊

Nice . Shee's on the track is more difficult than most realize. Nice job 4 3rd time on track with it.
I do own a banshee myself can you please explain why is it harder to operate on the track I have never took mine to the track
@@itsjustahmed8927 The powerband is why. They really like screaming in high rpms but down low where you need to be for turns and instant acceleration they just fall flat on their faces.
@@itsjustahmed8927 and the dated chassis the handling is not as good
@@itsjustahmed8927 Lol because a 450 is better in every single way.
@Zander Bird is that why 250Rs dominated for years though?

so sic great footage definatly launching that banshee love it keep up the good work
Thanks!!

Great video! Just bought a 2004 banshee..love it
How much you pay? Was it stock?
It gains ground quick but the 450s just walk away in the corners and tighter stuff
Nice job dude. you racing the next round May 8Th?
Thanks man 🤙 not gonna make it on the 8th. Got a big trail ride planed at FRO that weekend but definitely plan on making it to the Memorial day weekend race

@@32to1where to you get all your parts?
...does any feel like going to the garage and ride the banshee?.....

Pretty cool playboy
Love that sound, keep it up.

Oregon mud!

What else have you done to it other than pipes and a twist throttle ? I see the headlights are still knit !!
A lot lol elka stage 3 shocks on lone star A arms with dominator axle and +2 swingarm. Oversized rad and billet impeller. prm bumpers with light bars and full skids. I did have a 4 mil 421cc cub setup with 35mm carbs and 21mm domes cool head (thing was nasty) but it only lasted 20 hours so i put it back to stock... For now
It seems to have a lot of power. I had one +2+1 Duncan A-arms and a -1 swing arm that I rode MX on. I loved it but it never handled like a 250R.
Isn't it cheating?
Great run what class was this
30+
Is that a twist throttle n if so how do you like it when racing?
It is and i love it. Thumb throttles feel so weird to me cause all I've ever really rode were dirt bikes
Hell yeah dude good luck man
That was intense
Im Jelly
You must have some good suspension taking those hits
Elka stage 3 and extended everything. Definitely would have died casing that tripple with stock suspension lol
the other banshee is my paps but now he has a honda 250r quad and a honda 450 quad
Its all about the fun and Adrenaline
You got that right!
my pap is riding the other banshee
His was one of the sickest banshees I've ever seen
@@32to1 he got a used banshee and then in the winter he took the whole thing apart and built it again with all new parts and frame, and we have our own track at our house
Like #43

Just needs some +2 arms and a longer swingarm
Take the R next time.. Far more nimble
Blue banshee guy with a twist throttle? Hahaha thats his problem plus i bet that banshee is beating him to death on that track ther suspension sucks
It was fun. Elka + lonestar = smooth ride. Would have died on stock 😆
Banshees not a great mx racing bike but thats my opinion and many opinions out there but don't want to hurt any feelings now a days lolz
Agreed especially when its set up for the woods. My yz450f is 100 times easier to go fast on the track. But nowhere near as cool 😎 😆
@@32to1 I say the best mx machine would be a 250r just the way they ride and built
