Except for the ole fact that I have ridden Jim's 450r and I have ridden the Raptor and the Raptor is just fine. Logan is grabbing a set of stiffer front springs and things will be rock solid. Everyone thinks it is super top heavy, even myself until I rode it. Not as bad as you think. If the front springs were stiffer and the sag would have been setup for me it would have been even better. Plus, I don't see a Banshee as a bike doing too well in the air. The Raptor is great, even from a 10ft landing. Ride one, you will be amazed. Personally I have never ever witnessed a Banshee at the track, but multiple Raptors.

I have witnessed a pack of raptors, chasing a lone banshee.

tigmaster · 02-21-2008, 08:23 PM

Well, I have ridden a Raptor and it was a bit top heavy but like I was saying, stiffer springs.

tigmaster · 02-22-2008, 07:58 AM

tjscott2012 · 02-22-2008, 08:59 AM

Well, got the paddles in today along with my new Twin Air filter. I even bought a tire spoon. We will see how it goes. I not only have my tire to do but Sarah's as well.

shes going? lucky man

tigmaster · 02-22-2008, 12:09 PM

It is a fairly large trip. To the point where we had to think long and hard about how to pack up the 16ft trailer to fit everything. We are taking 3 dirt bikes and 4 quads. Doesn't seem like much but it is. It is going to be Jim's mom and dad, Jim, his brother Joe, Logan, Sarah, and myself. We are going to have to ride in the back of the truck. Luckily he has a camper on it.

I take it, Sarah is your girlfriend?

Does she know or able to ride the soft stuff??
