I consider that you out rode him. You gained in the turn around and handled the acceleration at both ends better. I find it to be very common for people to have more bike than they can ride. I see people building 450's all the time and I always tell people if they were good enough to use all the power a 450 has, someone would be paying them to ride. The Banshee was no doubt allot more powerful but in the end you gave him all he could handle.
