Freaking boring...No bashing just wondering what you find exhilerating? I didn't know you could buy something faster than those puppies stock without spending a buttload of money.

Well hells bells. If you lived in Texas I would come take you up on the offer but I can't make it to CAnada [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] As far as shee's go my buddy has a bone stock shee with maybe 30hrs on it for $2500. Its an '01 I want it but I want my raptor too. The raptor is only $1500!!! Maybe when I get back from bootcamp I should get it. What do you think? Are they good for anything besides drag racing and duning?

Personnally i prefer the Banshee for trail riding, lower center of gravity easier to toss around but thats just me...I dont like the soft Raptor suspension either too bouncy for my taste.

As weird as this may sounds it is pretty much up to you and what you plan to do or not with this thing...

Nah, I love the good ol raptor for trail riding. My past 2 have served me well. I'm just wondering about the shee. 2 strokes are fun and all but I'm really wondering if they are seriously going to stop making them. For the price its a hell of a deal you know.

For 2500$ go for it...If it doesnt handle the way you want it it to then just mod it till it does...If it isnt fast enough then mod it till it is...It is that simple.The only quad outhere you can totally mod to your own needs, not even the infamous 250r offers that many options.

Haha, I experienced it once on a rm250 that was tweaked to like 285 and had pipes and all kinds of crap on it. I almost crapped in my pants when the thing stood up vertical. I never went back to two strokes haha, I was scared. I was too young then though, I can deal now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

How do the 426's compare to the 250s? Do the 4-strokes have a lot bigger powerband than the 2-strokes?
