Hey everyone. I have a hard decision coming up. I can either put pipes on my Banshee, or, sell it, and get a Raptor or 400EX. The Raptor is a little out of my price range, but, a 400EX might be a little too slow. I already have FMF PowerCore II silencers, but, I really like DMC's. I was wondering if it would be better to just buy FMF Fatty's, or get rid of what I already have, and go with the full DMC system. Or, would it be just better to sell it, and get a 400EX. I want to race MX, but still have enough speed to beat my friend's CR125. I'd rather have a good handling quad, than a very fast one, but the 2 stroke hit is soooo addicting. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Sell it, or pipe it?

I may be wrong, but I don't think a 400ex will beat a CR125. I owned one and it was slightly faster than my friends Banshee. Later.

Keep it, get the Fatty's, and really rip!!!

And NO WAY will a 400EX EVER be able to hang with a cr125...

PIPE IT!!!!.....the 400ex is becoming old school, every 4 stroke is going big now, and Honda is still dinkn around with a 400. If you don't want the rip snorting of a 2 stroke, then at least step up to a big 4 stroke..... the Raptor. Youu'll get pipes cheaper than the cost difference of a new bike.

Hey RoostKing, I was up in your neck of the woods the other day. In Shoshoni Wy. We went through Cheyenne. Next year, I'm going to bring my wheeler(whatever it may be) What size Jets are you running in yours? Also, I have some oil around the seal where the head meets the header pipe.. Is that normal? Maybe you could meet up with us to do some riding? I'm not sure what town it was, but there is a KILLER MX track up there.. I think its just outside of Cheyenne... or maybe somewhere in Colorado. Where is the best place to get Fattys?? thanks alot!!
