sqall12001 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Whats up everyone. I'm new to this forum. I've been wanting a banshee for a long time and i think this spring i will be able to get one. I've riden one before so i kinda know what i'm getting in to. I was wondering what kind of atv's will beat the shee stock. I know with a few mods everything can level out, but stock will a raptor kick my butt?? I know it has alot to do with the rider, but machine against machine. Soon i hope to be able to give some advice and help out noobs also Thanks guys, -Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganskinner Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) from experience, a stock cRaptor will NOT beat the shee. not once in the thousands of drags or track races that a friend and i raced has the cRaptor beaten my shee. or even come close. by the way, welcome to the forums.

kotin6 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 you can walk away from a raptor but it will eventualy catch you and pass you, it takes a long time but it happens this is stock for stock info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellison445 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Same here, I think it also has to do with what you are racing on (street, dirt, sand) In my book Raptors are good for one thing, Wheelies!!!!! Thats It! Hmmm...Thats wierd, every top-end run I have read says the Banshee always tops out 3-4 MPH faster than the Raptor, stock the Raptor tops out at 73 MPH and I believe the Banshee was like 77. 296552[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I did get beat by a stock raptor once with my modded shee. I had to put my wife on the back to win. Dirt roads ya know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee0044 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 gearing is also an issue..ive seen stock raptors walk banshees all depends on the conditions and the rider... if you have any problems just get a set of pipes and its over i personally like the raptor though..they are quick and with a pipe and cam they fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Raptors do pop up super easy. I love wheeling with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when i got the info we were on paved road. after about a mile and a half he cought me and around 1.75 miles he passed me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqall12001 Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I figured that there weren't many that will take the banshee. I was just wondering what races to avoid . Thanks for the welcome, and I hope to have my shee soon. I want to get an a-arm version of the banshee, so it looks like 91 and up i think. Mods will include rocket pipes, some intake, maybe the 404 kit, and a regear to 13/41 ish?? mostly trail riding. Thanks, -Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke_addict Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 the bombardier DS 650 will crush the stock shee and the raptor in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRMit Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 The 450s will take a Shee in 300ft dirt. It all depends on the race conditions. BTW, 77mph sounds about right for a stock Shee. Mine does 73 and it has a 44 tooth rear sprocket and single carb. Dual carbs wind up a bit further and the stock Shee has a 41 tooth sprocket.

locogato11283 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 sorry guys but a stock yfz450 can take even a mildy ported banshee in the dirt. alot depends on rider and conditions but im here to tell you that we have raced our 450s against banshees many times. our banshees and other peoples banshees. on dirt damn near every fuckin time the 450 will win. put them on a road and its a different story.
