Are you kidding? By the time you would cross the finish line, he would already be having a smoke after making out with your girlfriend.

Man, a Raptor has only half the b*lls that a CR 500 has. the Cr puts out about 57hp bone stock, where a Raptor is lucky to make 38hp.add in the fact that the CR is about 150lbs lighter than the Raptor and I think you see where this is going. CR top speed is near 95mph a Raptor will run anywhere from 70-75mph stock. The CR 500 engine is the baddest engine EVER produced in a MX bike,and will run circles around EVERY other 4-wheeler or dirt bike engine out there.

LOL Newbie's now and days. A CR250R Will smoke a Modded Banshee star to finish by many Bike Lengths. Let alone a CR5HUNNY. The Question should have been CR125 VS bANSHEE. Close call there
LOL

Come on, it's not even the same league. It is like comparing an Honda Civic to a Viper.
The issue on the CR is putting all those HP on the ground.
I'm pretty sure that a CR80 is faster than a Raptor on a drag race.
Maybe, just maybe, a highly modded banshee can keep up with a CR125 somewhere with lots of grip, so the banshee won't spin much.

A CR 500 does about 75 with stock gearing. It can go over 100 with high gearing though. My CR has a lot more power than my raptor but it's not as much fun to ride.

my dad has a husky 430 and i ride it all the time. roll the throttle and it wheelies. so it may be hard to drag cause the front end comes up all the time.....but still no question..its just plain power to weight ratio.
