Posted by: MastaOfDisasta

I wish i could have that....

Posted by: R-Crazy

i saw one of those at glamis. not the same one though. look how many paddles are on those
tires, D***!

dave

Posted by: RideRed04

Yeah, that is mine. I got it from this guy at the trailer park for $750. He said a friend just gave it to him, so he didnt have the title...It is really fast, but the paddle tires and the long swingarm are loosing their appeal as the snow melts!

I think the guy that makes the Cranks for those bikes is right up here in salem...maybe portland. Twister Crankshafts is who it is...I dont know who makes the head though..

Posted by: R-Crazy

Mine is the yellow 400EX beside it.

Hey Yee Haw did you see my friend up there. He has a 250R with white Fullbore plastic and a neon orange frame. i almost bet his R would outrun that Banshee. its hard to believe but I watched him smoke Banshees on nitrous all weekend a couple of weeks ago. Its one bad sucka.

Posted by: Chef

That banshee is probably putting out over 150 horse to the wheel chad...what does this guys R have done to it?

Posted by: JustRace

That banshee would probably smoke any 250r no matter what it had done to it. I think those banshees are 750cc. Custom drag frame and other what not.

Posted by: ChadEXer

Your right that banshee is probably faster but his R is the fastest Ive ever seen. He has a 370 kit in it I believe. It is sweet and very fast!!

Posted by: YEE-HAW_400EX_Racer

Actually the Banshee is close to 580cc. I think the bore on all the cylinders are close to stock. He said around 575-580cc.

Posted by: RideRed04

Wow, sorry for the confusion...now I see how that april fools thing (750ex) got so out of hand... I thought the trailer park thing and the no title would give it away. lol. It really isnt mine

That banshee is SWEET. I have a friend who put a GSXR 600 motor on a banshee frame. Of course the fram had to be stretched though. This bike is awsome.....we are talking 130mph in 4th gear man!!! We go ride @ the dunes in Forest Hill, La. It is definitely a site to see.

The guy who does my machineing makes them D&M racing is name is Jeff Savery hes only goes to glamis though there fast what he does is literaly gets a crank and adds another rod and crap hes crazy....he charges 15,000 for a motor

Posted by: 400exRacerX

Heres another 3 cylinder drag banshee,

Posted by: Chef

Those banshees can go to over 700 cc though...a twin cylindered 'shee can go to 680...with a rotax head..

Posted by: SandTrix

I know the white R with the orange chassis that is a 370. Too bad both my 330Rs on gas out run him pretty easily, lol. Although his bike is fast, it is nothing like you make it out to be Chad. My bikes are on the same site the 3 cylinder banshee is.

Posted by: ChadEXer

You must be mistaken because I highly doubt that! there is a 330 built by Sparks here and the 370 smokes it. you must be thinking of someone else! Anyway he is selling his cylinder and stuff and getting a powervalve(I think thats what he said)he Said it will even be faster!!!
I hope my 505 is faster

Posted by: SandTrix

Let me guess, the bike has either a +4 or +6" swingarm, a chrome LRD big bore pipe. I cant remember the name of the guy that owns it. I can even name the engine builder if you would like, and it isnt a well known one. It was built by a guy in Kansas.

Posted by: ChadEXer

Im pretty sure he built his motor himself. He is the one that built my old 416 and he builds motors for guys all the time! he does have a +4 swingarm but i think he sold it a while back and had the stocker chromed and put back on! He was talking about getting a LRD pipe but im not sure if he got it yet! how old did the guy seem?? It may be him!!

Posted by: SandTrix

I would guess in his 20s. Im not positive on that, but he isnt all that old, and he is kinda short with dark hair. I've raced the guy for the last couple of yrs. at LS. How many 370Rs with the description we both said come to LS???? Damn, I dont know that many of them and I go to the dunes probably more than anyone.

Posted by: ChadEXer

I think maybe that was him! Who built your motor? If your bike is faster than his than you got a damned fast bike!!! He was smoking 420 Banshees on nitrous all the time!!! he said he is ordering a Powervalve 350. Said it was costing $1600. i think thats what he said,,does that sound right?? He is 21, name is Jake! he is mechanic at the shop here and a good friend of mine,,i didnt get to make it to LS because my motor isnt finished yet,,i will be there next time everybody goes,,I think he was saying at the end of this month,,,i just hope my motor is finished!

Posted by: SandTrix

First off I think ole Jake is lying. I know the guy that built his motor and it wasnt him. Seems to me he may be trying to take credit for another guys work. Second off, I have 2 ESR motors both of which I have modified. I only raced him with my slowest R, and I could still run past him pretty easy. There were also 2 true 250cc Rs on alky that could out run him. Yes, his bike runs, but it isnt the fastest R that shows up at LS. I brought alky with me to Snake Hunt just in case another R could out run me on gas, but I never had to break it out. http://content.communities.msn.com/...d/dunepics.msnw
check that out. Our bikes are the red R, and the white R.

Posted by: ChadEXer

Well he isnt lying. he never really told me who built his motor, i just assumed it was him because he does build quite a few motors! I will ask him when i talk to him later,,,were going to put my chassis back together this weekend!

Posted by: YEE-HAW_400EX_Racer

You guys are the ones who own the two Rs there??? You guys are pretty fast. I was just wonderin when I was sitting behind that Banshee you guys were with if the frame or swingarm is twisted on it? It leans one way.

Posted by: SandTrix

That fast banshee is ours too. The leaning you are referring to is caused by the subframe being tweaked. Reallly makes no difference, but it doesnt look all that good. That banshee is a 370LR D&M drag motor that runs very good.

Posted by: YEE-HAW_400EX_Racer

You remember when there was a dude standing on a Sportsman 500 behind you guys taking pictures of the drag racing? And I'm the one that took the pics of your 250Rs. That was me standing on the Sportsman 500. I have the yeller 400EX though.

Posted by: stevengates45

what times does the bike run in 300ft? We have a couple 3cylinder bikes down here but not many. We have one 2 cylinder shee motor that will be all of them too. The 2 cylinder although im sure there is a couple bikes a tad bit faster but for a 2 cylinder it runs extremely fast, runs 3.9s on alky, no nitrous too. It was built by Dennis Packard at Packard Enterprises
