close to same stock. Depends on surface and riders... i would say there about the same, rappy has more torque tho. They are also very diferent rides, if your buying either i would try them out, many people prefer rappy for everything but dunes and sand drags tho.

eatmy: A ROTAX? Why would you want to change the engine on a brand new Banshee? Going drag racing?

Eatmydust88 - Pipes and, silencers could get you far enough ahead (assuming your at least equal in skill and, weight to the other rider on the Raptor) to win in the 400ft drag. You get out to a lead and, hold it. Now when the Raptor gets piped you be back to square one.

You have to do nothing but break her in right, I was running 1 -2 quads behind piped Raptors with my stock banshee, and a pipe does alot on a Raptor, I seen no problem beating a stock Raptor with my stock Banshee after the break in I did to it, it ran way better than my stock Raptor ever did. But then again I didn't baby the Banshee like I did the Raptor on the break in and it paid off becuase it was fast stock and now it's extremely fast with the pipes and porting. Break in is very important IMO

I'd vote Toomey T5's.. My friends Banshee's have them and, they have some of the fastest ones at the dunes w/o serious motor work!

the banshee is a great bike to put a pipe on.they come alive.i raced 2 different banshees last weekend.4wand 2 l with one rguy and about 3w and 3l with another guy.i felt proud to win more than lose but i have to say it is down to the rider making the shifts perfect and keeping the wheels on the ground.this was hill racing with whoops at the bottom,which come into play as well.all the races i won i was able to get the bike into 3rd with rpms up before the whoop section.if i couldnt do that i couldnt win.

u can easily beat a stock rappy with a full exhaust system some of the right jetting, air filter would help
