I really miss the arms and shocks I had just put the Raptor, and over $1,000 spent less then two months ago to go big bore could of bought me my pipe and cool head but now I'll be paying down those credit cards for awhile until I can afford my TR6 pipe.

 

You obviously have not owned the newer 2 strokes. With good premix, it will last years.

 

I agree with you, so I carry a quart of Yamalube 2R and a RatioRite measuring cup in my backpack and will not be guessing on my pre-mix at the trail side gas stops.

 

Facts are Facts and I love my raptor over the banshee I had but you will NEVER get a raptors power to what a banshee is capable of!!!!!!

 

Hiram, did you see that race I had with that banshee. It was sick, my bike was running strong on Sunday and he got me by a least 5-7 lengths. That banshee had to be running in the low 90s and it was only ported and piped.

 

I didn't see the race but your bike was stronger than ever last Sunday at least the times I've rode it and man your mid-range was hard hitting and pulling on forever, wish I would of saw it............after I get my pipe and rejet we will have to line up the R and the Shee.

 

Well the guy kinda raced funny, as soon as he pulls away he stops. I could get a handle on whether I was going to catch him on the top end because as soon as he pulled away he ends it. He pulled away fast though. But I didn't get out of 5th gear.

I don't know what it was, maybe it could be that every time we have ridden has been in the rain (Trxxie don't like rain). But the R almost tossed me about 4 times, I wasn't expecting the take-offs it was giving me, it's never been like that.

 

The week you didn't go and I told you about the 30 or so banshee's that showed up to drag race there was a couple of words said about this style of racing which was pissing off a few people that said they never finishing going through there gears before the other racer letting off the gas in victory, we have to start to use the marking that are marked to 1/8 mile, this should be fair and let everyone go through there gears.

 

hey Hiram, congrats.. I saw your face the day that I was out there racing my friends banshee for him(remember the yellow one). I think the deciding factor for you was when the ds took it to you.. I knew you weren't going to stay with a loss like that.. Good luck and I'll see you out there.. I still have the blue banshee and my brother still has the LE rappy.. But i'll be out there on my new z400... peace

 

Kiko, the DS taking me was a big upset after all the time and money spent, and besides the candy red frame was calling my name, see you out there, you got a new z400 what color?
