I Thinking about buying a 2001. And i know every thing from the Tires and up i just want to hear what you guys have to say about it and would like to know which is faster Raptor660R or the Banshee and top Speeds. The dealers been telling me around 90Mph BS or true?

 

thats bs, in dirt wheels they said i stock would run 73

 

I think top speed it diffrent for EVERY machine, gotta figure in whether its jetted right, running right, warmed up, exc... Just cuz some magazine said top speed is so and so doesnt mean thats the acutall top speed for all of the same make/model, just means its the speed THEY could get it to go.. Personally I think a banshee is faster then 70 if running prime, and even 70 on a wheeler is hauling a$$, pretty scary...

 

Stock vs Stock the Raptor will beat a banshee by a very slight margin in both a drag and top speed. Put a pipe on the 'shee and it will beat the Raptor in all catagories except right off the line.

 

banshee: 71.5mph
Raptor: 72mph

 

Either way you go, you will be very satisfied with the Yamaha Coalition!!!! Both are excellent quads torque vs adrenaline rush; take your pick...
