Default Banshee 350 eat a bike?

Even if the motor was bored up a little do you think it will do 150 mph?

I don't know about eating a bike.

But 150mph would depend on the weight of that cart,and the gearing.I doubt it though.

I knew a guy that had a Banshee that would beat 600s though,so maybe.

I think it would take an incredible amount of hp to hit 150 with wheels that small. I say 110 max.

As far as comparison a guy I know run's a banshee @ Sunshine and crosses the line @ high 90's. His is geared for 1/8 mile track...In fact you will only see Banshee's run 1/8 mile run's because they run out of gear.

IMO I would say it's not impossible...I say homeboy bring's the kart down to a track and run's it! I know a 600 that will drag his ass all the way to the end...

possibly. He's got 11 grand sunk into this thing. MOST people dont sink 11 grand into something like a shifter cart then spew bullshit IMO. Two stroke pwn on the top end. He is probably making somewhere around 70hp or so. I dont see how that wouldnt do 150mph. Probaby has NO low end though. Edit, after seeing the pics, you'd have to be fucking retarded to go even 100mph in that thing. I say line up your bike, for FUN, and see what he can reach.

^ haha, did you see the oil resevoir for the 2-stroke oil is zip-tied to the rear end. I dont see how there is 11k invested in that pos. You can get a motor under a grand, the brakes and shit look a bit pricey but im sure you can find a whole rolling setup for another grand. pfft, $11,000. Somebody got ripped off on labor charges

150 would so not ever happen. The suspension would not work and you would flip if you ever hit ANYTHING. BS, but I still wanna see it.
