Default Banshee vs. Predator

Hello, I was wondering which quad is the better one. I want to know which one is faster as a stock quad. My friend got a banshee and says his is way better than my predator. Is that the truth????

Predator for sure. Sorry, I own a shee. But stock for stock, the predator owns.

well i have rode both, and i feel that they are both great, but i still love the rush of the shee... and i have seen the 2 race and the shee won. my shee is piped, but i haven't got the chance to race one. i think i should be faster, but i'm not sure my .02

Um i know this wasn't in the question but if your going by stock speeds the raptor will smoke both. and the banshee right behind it. Thats in sand though if your racing dirt its probably alot different Raptor pops up to easy and i'm positive that the banshee does to. just depends on what your racing on, dirt or sand.

Well I kinda think you would beat his stock raptor since your Predator is somewhat modified...if you would happen to lose, wow that sucks for you.

Doesnt bother me to lose - though I doubt I would against your slightly moded raptor. Dont get me wrong, I believe the predator as well as the raptor are sweet bikes - my friend has a raptor. Its just my experience that stock for stock the predator pulls away on the top end. My slightly moded predator gives fully moded raptors a run for the money.

Predator has a 500cc engine right? I think thats a great engine size. 660 can be a bit to powerful sometimes...hard to handle. If I ever MX race in the future, I would probably get a quad around that size (400-500cc).

Wow, that thing will be a machine. I donno if I am ever going to bore out my raptor. Maybe when I start to crave more power I will think about it then [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
