my buddy is talking about how bad his 2004 raptor is how will my banshee hold up agains the 4 stroke monster

 

Are both quads stock? Tell us a bit more about your Banshee and your buddys Raptor.

 

yes both are stock nothing performance wise is done to eather quad stock tires on raptor and maxis razors on the banshee everything else stock

 

My 01 Banshee was Stock with Bald tires when i raced my friends Raptor with a pipe and i can beat him from a dead stop...he was doing wheelies while i was peeling out....from a rolling start he beat me

 

Its pretty close to tell you the truth with a 660 and a banshee stock. If I was a betting man though, I would place my money down on the banshee. Its all depends though. Banshee's spin, and raptors wheelie! Its also really depends on the surface you guys are racing!

 

I think it will be close but i think the Raptor might have a slight advantage. Just because the Banshee is a sleeper it isn't very fast when stock, but once you start modding pipes,bore kits ect.. It gets quick fast.. Jamie Mace

 

When my Raptor was completely stock, I ran upon a stock Banshee. We lined them up on pavement too see the results. 1st thru 4th we were neck & neck, but when I shifted into 5th it was all over for the Banshee. Results may vary, but that's what happen in my race.... With the XXX Threat team finally united I'm ready to take on a few races. The Raptor is built pretty good, KTM is a killer, & what else can I say but the R1 is one running mother******[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Thats what I am saying. They are both pretty close. Traction is a big issue on the banshee, and wheeling is a BIG problem on the ol 660!

 

I would put my money on the banshee also for that big 4-stroke u need a lowering kit to drag from a dead stop all u will do everytime if u hit the reve limiter is putt the front end up i sand drag all the time thats all i do basically is sit at the strip and i have to say from experience the lowering kit was a good investment when i first got my toy i had to sit up on the gas tank and that got old plus i still pulled a wheelie. now with the lowering kit you can still pull the front end up but its much harder to do.
