Sonic what the hell were you thinking when you put this post on here???? I rode my buddy's 400ex all day this Sat. and it is soooo SLOW compared to the Raptor. I also weigh 210 lbs. Now don't get me wrong it handle's unbelievably but power it's just not there. It's fast and all but it don't close to my dino. And for that other post about the Banshee beating a Raptor, well I'm sure my time will come when a Banshee does finally beat me but to date my record is 3-0. I raced two stock to stock then I piped mine and raced a Tommied Banshee and beat him, as I have stated b4. It's all good, you guy's just get way too serious about this who's faster thing! Just be glad were out riding and having a good time. Oh by the way the reason I was riding the 400 instead of my Raptor well kinda bent the axle but oh well wanted to wider anyway. And as for that DS650 I know a guy who just bought 2 of those thing's so I'll race him soon. He went from Polaris to DS650's some people just never learn!!!!!!!

Got mine through Northern Hyd. and not really impressed. Works for keeping track of oil changes but not for RPM's. Display too small and it is not constant. Cost about $35. I think the one through Rocky Mountain looks trick. I keep mine and mounted it under tank.

Go back and read my post one more time and then maybe you'll get it. It's all about riding and having a good time. Getting sick of guys that can't see the whole picture here. They're all good. I just seem to think my Raptor is awesome, dispite the outcome of some stupid drag race. Those guys would have to pack a mighty big lunch if they think they're going to bet me in any other type of race. Sorry, maybe its just me but I normally enjoy getting feedback from my posts till someone can't get a clue. I think I'll sell my computer, buy that axle and shocks I've been wanting, and just go riding.

Well it seem's to me that you Banshee owner's have been jealous ever since the new kid has hit the block. It seem's like whenever a Raptor say's he beat a Banshee you 2 stroker's lose your mind!! Look you don't have the biggest, baddest or coolest looking four wheeler out!!! You guy's had your reign at the top now it's time to be a man and bow out with your head held high. I'm sure within the next year or two someone will come out with something better than the Raptor, but until they do move out of my way. Now I'm saying that fully modded Shee won't spank a stock Raptor but if equally equipped it will come down to alot of thing's. But I have SPANKED 3 Shee's to date and look forward to spanking more. I know this post will make some people mad and it's not my intention just stating the truth. No more 40hour rebuild's or overheating or lack of control, just get on and hold on.
