evro Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 sled speedometers aren't terribly accurate even if you're on dragtrack or hard surface. they can be way out due to slippage and calibration issues. radar and gps are the most accurate. i'm not trying to say you guys didnt hit those speeds cause i know its possible. i've been putting on 1500 to 3000 miles a year (depending on the snow levels) for over 20 years and you're right about duplicating the rush of a 2 stroke sled. its just not the same on a four stroke (snow or otherwise). they're great on groomed trails but tossing around one of those front end heavy 4 strokes in deep snow all day is like wrestling a bear. what else can i say, powerband is meant to be delivered, NOW. thats the same reason i bought a banshee and not something else. easy to mod, cheap to rebuild, and tons of available parts.

1tonstroke Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 If you're only looking at a raptor vs. a banshee, a banshee is the way to go. If you do alot of track riding and want to actually race and be competitive you're going to want a 450. The opinions here are definitely biased being a banshee website, but you need to ride both bikes and make a decision on your own. There are a few guys on here who mx banshees and you might be able to set one up for less money than a 450. I trail ride a banshee because I enjoy riding them and two strokes in general but I am way faster on a 450 and you are not going to find any competitive racers on a banshee because 450's are easier to ride and better suited for a track.

krss144 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 no need to be a dick but i hit 115 with a artic cat wildcat Well I would hope so, your Wildcat is a 700, I have a stock 600 oh and just wondering was that your top speed???LIke I said it was in 660' not balls out across a field or lake for a mile. No that wasnt the dreamometer that was GPS. The owner of the GPS had a ZR900 that was all moded and he only did 108 in 660 feet. Its all about being quick not fast for me.
