the shee can also spray for mosquitoes as it goes! Sorry but the ancient shee is now seeing its end. The rappy is what the shee wishes it could be, but then again I wish for Tyra Banks, aint gonna happen!

straight up the raptor will whip the shee, the shee has better mods, but it should after its 50 year run

i wouldnt say that at all. stock vs stock, its one of the closest races in the sport today. the banshee seems to need more than just a pipe before it will blow away a raptor. when both are piped, they are still pretty close. but when you start to get some mods into the shee, its all over. just keep out of the roost and maybe the raptor's plastic wont be destroyed on the way back to camp, and you will still be a pretty loser.

maddog my brother, remember always and forever it IS how look while you are whipping a shee. The shee will soon be a historical quad like the 400ex and the 250R, but the future is the raptor( and the other big 4 strokes) and the future is now!

4 strokes may be the future, but trx250rs, ltz250r's, zilla's and banshees are still kings of speed. you have to spend a lot more money to get 4 strokes to run as fast as a built 2 stroker. honda 250r's have been out of production for a decade and a half, and they, or thier custom built copies, still rule the Pro circuts, mx, tt, and the like. you can argue for new tech all you want, but as long as the 2 strokers can compete, they will still be around.

a 4 stroke will never be able to beat a 2 stroke! especially a 250r. First u pay $6-9k for a used or new craptor, then u gotta put alteast $2k in the motor just to wake it up, and then about another $3k for suspension, lets say $16-15k total, and its still not as fast as a $3-5k R...so wheres the advantage in a 4 stroke? torque? who needs it when u have HP, reliability u say? wait till u throw a cam chain, bend a valve, or do what the raptors are best at, blow ur tranny...hmmmm seems to me that 4strokes arent all what they are cracked up to be (with the exception of the 400ex<~~only 4 stroke worth buying) another thing craptors are to damn heavy
