what about a raptor? if i got one it would be new, probably and 03 or 04. theres a lot of good things about it that i like, and then theres a lot of things i dont like. i like the reverse, the style, the fact that it can go a lot of places you wouldnt want to take a banshee, the size and the small turning radius. but i dont like a lot of the things i hear about them breaking every 5 minutes and falling apart, and i like 2 stroke power more and i like the fact that a shee can be more heavily modded for way better performance, and i like the 6 speed tranny of the shee. im soooo confused!!! help!

well heres how its gonna be, about 85% dunes, 15% trails. now im still about 99.5% on the shee, but just to ask, what about a KFX400? i know its not gonna put out shee power, but it is a nice bike, and its newer and a little cheaper, and i havent heard any complaints about em. but im still goin for the shee unless you can say anything REALLY good about the KFX.

i have 2 friends with a raptor and one with a banshee.. my friends with the raptors have both had the carburetors pop of 2 to 3 times and one had problems with thegears and another had to replace the starter 2 times but all their fault, and my friend with the banshee has had nothing but fun on it.. it has sooooo much power.. he wrecked about a month ago wheelieing in 4th gear and his quad cartwheeled to a stop and he only bent his axle the tiniest bit.. BANSHEES RULE!

yeah, well in spite of all the good things the zook guys have said about the ltz/kfx, im still gonna have to go with the shee. its just more my style, and i cant imagine not having a 2 stroke! i mean come on! lol. anyway, thats whats gonna happen i think. so im happy. but i did have a few questions,

1. what is the range (miles) of a stock banshee, i mean being a 2 stroke twin i have a feeling it sucks gas down pretty fast.

2. around here theyre pretty strict about noise, and i know a stock banshee will pass, but its close, and the first thing i want to do is get some pipes for it and i know thatll make it a lot louder, so whats a good pipe that isnt too loud?

thanks everybody
