nickxc Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I had fun yesterday kicking the shit out of a friends hopped up raptor. He thought it was the fastest thing around cause he beet a couple 400ex's with it. poor kid. has full fmf exhaust. ported head. different cam,and some other miscelanious stuff, c series rims and holeshots, durablue axle, all that junk and I had almost a full gear on him all the way to top end. we tried rolling starts and full stop starts and he never spent a second in front of me. I rode it and its full of snot on the low end but the power falls right off as the R's go up. took forever to wind out 4th and 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark you Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 i agree with all you have said.......i spent a full day with one ,,good on hills but made for small men...its tiny on a trail nooooooooo tanx...............you cant steer without your front wheels on the ground and you break your wrists when you turn it off......all this results in low corner speed and an exits that i don't understand ...........................full stop , by the way it stops well thats it.4 stroke no poke?

Sanddunejunkie Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Sorry guys but I have to step in here... First off I ride a Shee now and It's awesome just cant beat it BUT I started on a Craptor......Sorry ment Raptor..... No in the Drag Just cant hang.. however with just a pipe you can hauel ass in the trails. rides great turns awesome and has the low end to get you out of trouble.. I,m NOT saying that it is even as good a a shee but it's NOT aa piece of junk either.. as a matter of fact the guy I sold it to has turned it into a sick drag bike... the only thig that can run with it are the fully ported Shee's and thats no shit. the only mager prob I had with the bike was you couldent (when I say you I mean I LOL) stay on top of it the easiest bike in the world to roll. But all thats JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickxc Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I agree sanddune, I think raptors are good bikes I ride with 3 of them all the time. they have their advantages, for one they are really easy to ride. I was gunna start my girl friend out on one but then I let her ride my shee the other day and she impressed me but thats another story. You really need to be experienced to ride a banshee like ANYONE can ride a raptor they are just that easy to handle. I prefer my banshee and thats why I bought another one instead of a raptor the last time I bought a bike. I can out run all the raptors that I ride with on my shee with ease and I like that.
