Hi i was wondering what would be a better bike for me im 18 and this will be my first bike..im confused on what to get..so i really appreciate it if you will leave me feed back on your opinion....

Im not sure if i should get a banshee or raptor...Which is a better bike with and does not need much maintenance
please let me know asap..

what would you prefer

[370banshee]

same maintenence. it's just the 4 strokes will run longer unmaintaned. in reality they just run like crap longer iuntil they break. with regualr maintenence the 2 stroke will last teh same plus be faster and more fun. the powerband of a shee is unlike anything else

[Bweezy23]

So do you think the banshee will fit me as a beginner...

[370banshee]

yeah. the banshee is faster than teh raptor but if your worried bout going to fast then the craptor woudl be to fast too. but if your picking between those to you wanna go fast so get the shee and you'll ba a happy camper plus the craptor is just that CRAP they are junk and you'll be very very glad you bought the shee.

Just cause you have a shee dosen't mean yhou have to go fast. What am I talking about you buy a shee to go fast. If not you should by a zuma. ha ha

lol...ok thanks alot for the advice i appreciate it....do you know where i can get a 1999 - 2001 banshee from and how much it will run me

i would say be prepared to pay 3,000-4,000 and that will be a shee with a few mods on it. If you find a stock one it will be more around 3,000. I would check ebay and the local papers. There are deals everywhere.

oo ok..thanks..

get a shee...raptors are the worst bike to ever roll off a yamaha assembly line

ok put it this way. my girlfriend (who does not ride at all) rode my shee without any problems. the thing is, when you are ready to upgrade, it will be easyer (and less expencive) to make more power over stock. the raptor, shure it has more cc's but that does not mean it will make more power. the damn thing is a turd blowing fat bitch that needs to go on a diet. your choice would have to be a banshee. you will have so much more fun on the shee you will think ---why was i even concidering that paperweight--- . and as for a place to buy one. i found mine on ebay, 98 for $3500 all stock but the thing was never riden more than proly 8 times. why were you looking for just the 99-01 models? there almost all the same besides color from 91 on up.
