Default Raptor vs Predator

and where do you get off saying 4 strokes are heavy... a shee weights more than most
more than most??? a raptor, ds 650, predator, scrambler, and most other 4 strokes weigh more than a banshee, thats all Im saying, True a yfz 450, and maybe even the 450r are lighter than a banshee but for all intensiver purposes a banshee is lighter than most of the 4 strokes. a 4 stroke motor with valves and sht is usually heavier than a 2 stroke motor in general. thats all!!

TRUE OR NOT?
well i havent got the chance to ride mine yet considering it is 1400 miles away from where im at right now. but i think the only way ill survive on such a bad *** machine will be to take it easy on the throttle which is impossible for me so maybe ill see ya all in hell sometime soon huh?

False......115?? are you kidding?? NO Way.........how did we come to compare two stroke and four stroke motors here? Aren't the pred and the rappy both, heavy four strokes?...This has been discussed many times....they are both very similar.....I would say for trail riding and every day riding, and duning....then get the rappy.......for racing get the pred. As for drag racing, they are both very similar, and can be modded the same....one may go faster, not sure, but if you were racing, then you would be in different classes anyway.

Not trying to get off the subject but my bro has a 04 Pred. Piped, jetted, airbox mod and some kinda new rectifier and we were at the sand dirt drags this weekend and he beat a 03 Raptor with pipe and jet kit twice, well guess what I beat both of them on a 18yr old trike Honda 250R bored 10 over w/ wiseco, carbonfiber reeds and an FMF pipe he will get on here and tell you he cant beat me in 200ft or 1000ft and thats with 18 yr old technology. The only bike I lost to this weekend was in the simi's and it was a yfz 450 and he won it all so I dont feel that bad.

No way man....you didn't **** me off, it was just so crazy of a number that I replied in shock......No hard feelings here, I'm sure that with the right gears, anything would go that fast, but it may take a while....the main thing is that it didn't come that fast from the factory.
