26,27? Its not the same guy this one lives in lumberton.

Lets get back to the old Raptor vs banshee subject

 

My stock Raptor, that's not even broken in yet, just totally smoked a trick looking Banshee...I mean by a good 20 lengths, and I was still pulling ahead... Of course, he was in the slow lane pulling it on a trailer, and I flew by in the fast lane, with my R in the back of my truck...

Does this count? hehehe

Come to think of it, I passed a nice looking Corvette too! Damn, my Raptor is fast!

 

Stock for Stock the Raptor is 1-2 MPH faster then a Stock Banshee. But Mod vs Mod the banshee is faster.

 

I thought we were talking a DRAG RACE, not top speed.. Hmm..?

 

all Right how long is the Drag Stripe?

 

300ft.

 

Im not stock, but I seen a bone stock 01' blue banshee w/ just Toomey t-5's on It beat a raptor straped down with a curtis sparks pipe, maybee a jet kit, by a bike length or two Just last saturday on a 300 ft drag track in MS. They raced about 4 times. Every time the banshee pulled away.

 

Ok, even though the topic is about which one is faster, I will go into slightly more detail.

I can't really say which one would be faster, stock vs stock, but I think a Banshee would probably beat a raptor (mod vs mod).

I was talking to my friend a few days ago and he told me he got his banshee up to 97mph on a straight-away. That is flying. However, it might be possible that the raptor wins. You really have to max out a raptor to see its full potential. Most bikes could probably beat a raptor up until 3rd-4rth gear, then the high-end-power of the raptor(which not every bike has)takes advantage.

When you race, you have to make sure it's a long straight-away(if your going for speed) and you have to max out your bike, get it up in the highest gear, or it doesn't mean anything.

Overall, I think the Raptor is ALOT better than the Shee. The shee's looks are terrible, I hate the style where as the raptor has the best looks on the market.

You have to do more maintence on a 2-stroke, so thats just one more reason to get a raptor.

Well, I'm still a novice-rider, but there's my 2 cents.

 

<< You have to do more maintence on a 2-stroke >>



Okay,besides a top end rebuild and premixing gas(if u wanna call that maintenance)on a 2-stroke,what else do you gotta do that you dont on a 4-stroke?

 

<< The shee's looks are terrible >>



Its a matter of taste,I think the Shee looks a helluva lot better than a raptor.
