Default Raptor vs. Banshee

From your list of mods you have like 5 times what he has into his Shee...



but it doesnt have the torque needed around here for mountain riding.
Lol...The Banshee has been "king" of Sand mountain for a damn while now...So explain to me where the lack of torque is happenin because im not sure im with you here.

Ok dumbass the fact that you bought your Rappy used doesnt do crap in this equation...You compare new vs new or dont compare at all...You compare fastest vs fastest or dont compare at all see the point...Guess not!!!

My only point was that alot of people say the Banshee is a bad woods machine wich is nowhere close to be true, thats all!!!

There was no need to turn this into a bashing session as I stated from the start that my comments were originated from personnal experiences and personnal preferrences, you like your Rappy good for you, i just personnally dont.

I like my raptor for certain applications.. wether i bought mine used or not isnt the issue the issue is that even if he bought his used he would still be at the same price as me because of having to rebuild everytime you go out. have u ever rode a raptor do you even own a quad?

uhhh 2 strokes have very little torque.....lots of people have told me this and i can definitely tell they have very low torque compared to a 4 stroke, after riding quite a few 2 jokes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

thats a badass ride. the point of my retaliation was to say that the raptor doesnt have a high center of gravity and people would konw this if they rode one lol

Two strokes produces more torque than four strokes...Just at a higher rpm, torque has nothing to do with low rpm power...Its just a common misunderstanding that torque= low rpm power.
