Sorry but I have never been impressed with Banshees. Plus 2 stroke is out now, especially if you trail ride. I was a skeptic of the raptor 700, (I hated the 660, sorry just my opinion) but once I rode them I was impressed. I would def go with the rappy.

 

I would say go with the Raptor mainly for the better suspension and technology it has over the Banshee. Plus mixing oil in your gas gets old after a while, especially when you want to ride when the Yamaha dealer is closed and you're out of oil.
