instead of saying that a modded 400ex SHOULD beat a 400ex, why dont we race a piped and lame 350 warrior to a stock 400ex. And i know that all u band wagon yamaha fans wont have any thing to say... I guarantee that if Honda made a 660cc machine that it would beat the Raptor in all aspects of the atving sport... Raptors are just small penius compensators.....

 

Boy, i'm sick and tired of these Raptor guys making excuses when they are scared to race someone or if they get beat!! Thats all we here is " my Raptor wasn't broken in yet", " the guy on the Raptor probably can't drive", and so forth. This is what i know 1)a Raptor will smoke a 400EX stock for stock. 2) A well tuned mod. 400Ex will stay with a Raptor in a drag race. 3) Stock for stock, a Banshee is a little faster than a 400EX on top end. 4) My modded 400EX will beat a good-running piped Banshee in a drag race and on top end all day long. These are all facts! By the way, I smoked a Warrior the other day, LOL

 

rider isnt everyting, i tried to drag race a ds 650, a scrambler 500 and a 400ex (all stock) with my trailblazer and i lost badly. i am the best rider of the 4, we have swiched machines and i have come out good. by the way, there is no match for a ds 650 when you pin that trottle in 3rd gear bearly moving. glad you can hug the tank so good!!

 

Guys, I think we are forgetting something that plays a major factor here....... WEIGHT!! The Raptor has reverse which adds weight. The Honda being lighter regains some of the difference of cc's to the Raptor. It doesn't matter if you have 30 cc's or 3,000 cc's , if the power-to-weight ratio isn't there, it's not gonna haul. And we are forgetting that those 440 ex's have high compression pistons. Regardless of all of this talk, I still think that a Raptor will beat a 440 ex. And if it does, that is saying a lot because most Raptors are stock, and heavier than the Hondas. The Hondas have pipes, jets, carbs, pistons, bored cylinders, wheels, tires, sprockets, and God knows what else. They dumped all of that money into their quad so they get the satisfaction of barely beating a stock quad. Wow, you must feel special! So to make a long story short, WHO CARES?!?!?!?

PS- To the guy who said the Banshee is a little faster on top end than the 400ex, are you on crack?? Compare 65 to 75+ mph. Yea, real close.
