Stock for stock they are even enough driver ability would make the difference...

But they really are different quads made for different worlds, if you ask me.

Raptor, Great trail quad..

Banshee, Great Dune quad...

A stock raptor would still blow it away. My cousin has a stock raptor but has never had it clocked but he raced his frend in his truck while he was on the raptor and he passed the truck in third gear. the truck was goin 60mph. when he passed the truck, he had to wait for him at the end of the street. The banshee can ony go 74mph tops. the raptor wasnt even wound out.

And then one time at band camp.... lol

come on guys, either way these are the facts. Either bike is great for all around riding, I think. And on the street or at the drags, both are slow... with respect from other machines, so if you wanna go fast, move up a few CCs, besides, there is no replacement for displacement!

98 Banshee, way to much junk on it too list!
97 sea doo XP, way sweet and is for SALE< << mail me if interested!
selling for a new CR

Katos, do you have problems w/your sea doo being squirly? I have a 99 XP, and a 97 GP1200, and after the GP, the XP is HARD to ride! the engine is in the front.. and it drifts really easily.. Also, does your nose stick really really close to the water??

I guess were switching the talk over to jetski's now... That works for me, but yes, the XP's nose will be close to the water and even in choppy water sometimes it will dive under an inch or two. As to the handling of the GP and XP, they ride totally different. The XP is like riding a motorcycle on water and the GP is more user friendly. I find when riding an XP you need to not be afraid to lean into turns alot and ride agressivly, thats when it handles its best.

You guys are right about the skis, although my front end is not as close to the water as you say yours are,,,, though mine may be lighter since mine has the 787 and not the 951 in it, just a thought. It is unstable, but kinda cool too. All in what u like I guess.

Sorry bout the ski talk, if u want to talk seadoo, go to PPGs site at sea-doo.net,, killer info, and a fun site!

The Banshee should most definatly beat the Raptor. Don't get me wrong the Raptor is Bad A$% and would beat the Banshee if stock but not a modded banshee.
