it least the banshee will do 60 mph. j/k
i would get the banshee, great power and i love the scream of a 2-stroke.
a piped banshee will outrun a piped v and raptor in the drags easily.

Raptor or V. You are too big for the Banshee.

Your not to big at all but I think for any bike you might need to get a different size spring put in the rear. I think all bikes are for people around 170-220 but that's just a guess. As for the jetting its not that hard you will learn really easily. Just do to one carb the same as the other. If you get a pipe, K&N, and remove the snorkel banshee will be the fastest out of those three even if they have the same mods. Also dont wait to get the pipes either stock banshee's are really choked with those pipes

Go with the Raptor. A friend of mine was considering the V. He was talking to a buddy that has one and heard some bad things. His friend told him that some people are having problems with the frame breaking. Kawi is paying for them to get fixed but do you want a new quad with frame problems. He also said he has had problems with the reverse switch breaking. He has replaced it several times. One more thing he mentioned was that the rims can't handle the weight of the V. Keeps on bending them. I don't know if all this is true i just wanted you to know what i heard. From what i read on here people love the V. Good luck on whatever you decide. Let us know what you get.

I don't know what kind of piped raptors you have been racing but I haven't ever been beaten by a shee.......piped, reeds, timing advance mod, direct mount k&n's and TORS removed.......
