If you know how to ride a shee stock for stock you should be able to out accelterate and already have a higher topend than the raptor.

As for jumping i beleive the banshee is 100-150 lbs lighter so that answers that question

Wheelies i wouldnt know ive never riden a raptor but my banshee comes up with a feather of the clutch.

The raptor is only between 45-50lbs heavier than the shee and wheelies like no other. takes skill to keep the front end in the air on a shee, the raptor is a wheelie machine.

The dry weight for the banshee is 386 and the raptor is 398 if I can remember correctly. I think the raptor has better suspension, and handles a little better, but the banshee should own in a drag race, and accelerate faster. I would rather have a raptor to jump with, and IMO the banshee is about the worst quad to wheelie, thanks to its wicked 2 stroke power that is.

I have seen many different top speed numbers from both quads, from the forums, and magazines. I have seen 68-78 for the raptors top speed, and 73-? for the banshee.

Yep, riding a wheelie on a Banshee is kinda hard.....However the Raptor wheelies a little to easy sometimes...... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
