Nice to see another big bore rider switching to a shee. I ride with about 4-5 guys in the dunes who ride shees. A couple of them can wheelie from 2-3rd or from 3-4th. Its all about keeping it in the powerband and the balance point. The shee has no low end (not good for wheelies) but it has a good balance point. Im pretty sure you'll do nicer wheelies on the shee than on your raptor at least.

I seriously doubt it is possible. I have tried for 2 years to ride a wheelie on my Banshee, and never have gotten it longer than 1st-4th. I can ride a 300EX, 400EX, and the Cannibal as far as you would like me to, 1st-5th, any shape you like, but not the Banshee. 4 strokes will waste 2 strokes riding wheelies.

i got it up in like 2# a few times and my ride buddies made fun of me lol it was bone stock and the guy i got it from can do 5th gear wheelies forever on it my 250r is fast and powerful but isn't a wheelie monster eirther "well come on the r has to be bad at something" hehe and id agree the raptor wheelies perfect downside is that's all it does well aside from flip and break down

1st-6th? It's not Impossible, anything is possible, slap some fat-a$$ low-end pipes on one and practice faitfully for say a year or so and you'll have it down (mabe), I bet theres some one out there who can do it.. (dont fess up unless you've got the pics/vids to back it up) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] lol!

Im not sure what i was thinking about when i said hed wheelie better on the shee, the raptors short swingarm makes the front end extremely light and easy to keep up with or without a good balance point. And yes, 4 strokes are much better for wheelies (ill admit that even though im a die hard 2-stroke fan).

its hard to even ride one with the type of power it has. its dead and then all of sudden it comes alive once it gets to certain rpm point and puts it on the grab bar faster then you know it.

Been pretty busy, working, saving $$, sold the blaster so I've been quadless for a couple LONG months, gonna buy a banshee within a couple months, hopefully a new one but we'll see.. should have around 4k to spend, depends on if the yammy goon will finance the rest.
