theshee Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Be careful racing for $$. I dont blame you, I would run 660s all day long, but watch out for some of the new 700s. There are a couple in colorado that have been pissing banshee owners off bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupelx Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 the 660's live up to the craptor name. the 700's are a different story as my rather cocky cousin on his yfz found out. i would still like to run one for shits and giggles.

theshee Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Here they are.... the blue one has pissed many people off already, and the other one is getting there. (after this weekend) Yeah, ask RIPPEN, these bikes run for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 you blew by him at only half throttle in 5th gear? i hope you have more than some pipes and reeds or else you are lying, i love my banshee as much as the next guy, probably even more, but raptors are still quick. a good piped banshee definatly walks on the piped raptors, but not at half throttle hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshee Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Heres a vid of my raptor running my bros banshee...(mikes in this race to but he tried to pull a 900 ft wheelie to start lol) My raptor has PCIII, barker duals, Hotcam stage II, and a GYTR intake. (12.5:1 piston and bored throttle body after this weekend ) Banshee has pipes, vf3 reeds, adjustable timing plate, coolhead w/ 20cc domes, pod filters. I am 10lbs lighter then my bro, but his banshee is lighter then the raptor, so weight is about equal. http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k147/bla...rrent=Race2.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Nice vids man, looks like fun............. Those new raptor's are pretty damn quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felcon edition banshee Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 nice... the new craptors r preaty fast though and the yfz not bad for its engine size. i still think that for the '06 model banshee they should have threw in some better stuff like aluminum frames and just planinly update the shee i mean common its like 20 yrs old and only up grade was J arms to A arms and i think drumbs to discs or was that the blaster?

RIPPEN Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Here they are.... the blue one has pissed many people off already, and the other one is getting there. (after this weekend) Yeah, ask RIPPEN, these bikes run for sure. Hell yeah they run well.. Real well.. They respond great to mods and are already starting to break banshee owners hearts.. Will the heavly built 700s beat the heavly built banshee's? Not yet but they are reeling them in a little at a time... Oh and in case Wallace thinks Iam the one theshee was refering to when talking about a banshee owner getting pissed off. Thats incorrect... I have known these bikes had potential long ago.. Even when "REALLY SMART" guys said they were junk.. On top of that I never get pissed when I lose on the drags.. My bike is ported, and setup for climbs, then duneing, then drag.. I cant afford to keep up in the drag racing competition thats out here so I built Melvin for climbs.. :thumbsup: RIPPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WALLACE84 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 No im not saying your were the pissed off one or something, I just remember him saying that it gave you a run for your money awhile ago. Sorry for the confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I would like to mod my wife's raptor, but she hurts herself on hers just fine right now, any more power and I might be a widower............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPEN Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 No im not saying your were the pissed off one or something, I just remember him saying that it gave you a run for your money awhile ago. Sorry for the confusion Oh, no worries man, sorry if I came back like I was snappin-lol.. Your right though.. The one time theshee and I ran it was very close.. We both had less than desirable starts and in my defense he doesn't weigh shit and my bike like mentioned before really isn't set up for drag.. BUT at that time neither was that Raptor.. He didn't have that much done to it so I was impressed.. Otherwise you cant get around the fact theshee weighs a buck foedy soakin wet.. LMFAO!!

theshee Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 It was a couple other fellas that were all pissed off, jameys too cool of a guy to get pissed over racing. Like he said, he knows his bike is set up tp climb and thats that. Anybody that beats Rippen racing should try to follow him up the root jungle... then we would see who was laughing. And like jamey said, I have an unfair advantage because I MIGHT weight 140 soaking wet. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
