I have a 2006 raptor 700R anniversary addition. It haul pretty good! Stock for stock is faster than my 2000 banshee. They are awesome machines, the EFI is great and the machine is just all around awesome. It got more horsepower and torque than the 450's and is much more comfortable and relaible. Compared to the banshee stock the 700 sits higher but its not a problem, the suspension is more responsive, and the power of the raptor is insane. I love both machines they are so hard to compare. I am positive if you get a raptor you will love it!
