Questions about banshees
 
Well The banshee has more of a boxy type handling, lower to the ground. The raptor has a high center or gravity so you might tend to tip a bit on one. Both are the same stock, but once you start modding you'll have more fun with the shee for what type of riding you do.

learning to runa 2 stroke is real easy, you wont foul plugs unless you are really dumb.
banshee's handle well
Raptor is a more compfy ride with reverse.
a banshee is a screamer and if you dont need reverse a lot and don't mind a rebuild after a while, go for it. if you run in wide open spaces i would go banshee.
banshee's do 77mph.
raptors do about 75.
it's neck and neck.

Both are good fast quads but are a totally different experience as far as the fun factor goes. The Raptor to me is like a fast automatic Corvette and the banshee is like a stick shift Porsche, even though both quads are manual it just feels that way to me.

not very loud with the stock pipes. but put any aftermarket pipe on there, and the neighbors will know you're coming. of course, some pipes are louder than others. but they all make that sweet noise when you have the throttle pinned....
