If you search a little you will find all the info you could ever want.

What do you mostly ride?

Trails id say raptor, nice to have reverse, lots of power and potential in the motor, soft ride, nice to fool around on.

Open areas the banshee is nice, when you can run it wide open, little harsher ride, but fun also.

Reply back with what you are riding

If open fields, tracks, and roads are where your gonna be riding, id say get a banshee. Raptor is also a good choice, just depends, id rather a shee for roads and just to have the 2 stroke snap in a strait line, but i love the comfort of a raptor, and i love the torque.

Just my opinons there, only reason i would though go with the banshee if you situations is because you mentioned mainly roads.

A z400 will definetely not be fast that a stock raptor or shee with only 500$ worth of work. the raptor is what, 6200$ and the z 5700$? thats like a full pipe and filter, and the z still gets smoked.

o well, in that case, its a close call. But if the Z's are so cheap there, wouldnt the raptor value also drop in that store?

For wide open spaces it would be hard to beat the banshee,dollar for dollar the banshee is much cheaper to make faster!!

not very much cheaper the owner loves the 400's s he makes them cheaper so more ppl cam start on one instead of getting sumthing thats to big for them but thats his way of trying to control the none expireanced riders
