i would rather have a 2 stroke and yes i know that the banshee is a 2 stroke. but my nieghbors always ride in high elevations. so i have to decide which i like better the dunes or trails i would rather go to the dunes cause my cuzin is gettin a CR 125 motor cycle so he could go down with me. does the banshee have reverse or not

Alot depends on your riding style... I'm sure the Banshee is alot lighter than the Rappy, so if you like to throw the bike around a bit a Rappy may be to heavy. I had a Banshee and I now have a Raptor but I like the electric start and the reverse. I weigh 220 and 6 foot tall so the Rappy fits me well.Have ya ridden either one? Do that then choose.It'll be a decision ya have to live with for awhile.Good Luck [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

banshee personally. everybody always says the banshee is bad for trail riding, but I think its fine but then again it all depends on what kind of rider you are.
