Acceleration?

[trail rider]

That would depend on what is under the tires and what speed you are currently going.  You will never get a Raptor to hang on concrete, but in wet grass a Banshee could spin through all six gears.  Now are we talking about cruising along at 40 on some tacky soil and running then, advantage Banshee. 

 

There are way too many variables to answer that one.

oh yea, nothin is better than a banshee in wet grass . I got worn out bandits on mine and went out for a ride. it was just barly rainin, enough to settle the dust, and I headed out to the field. I swear it was slicker than ice. I got through all 6 gears in 20 or 30 ft, shreadin grass rooster tails like crazy

 

and talk about dounuts, I got up to 4th gear on one, hafta try for 5th later but it might not pull,

for up here, i think you should get a 250r. it will do great in the dunes, better in the trails then a banshee, and will tear up anything on the track. you can find a pretty nice r around here for about 3k. a 400ex would also be a decent idea, throw a 440 kit on it and it would go alright. if you plan on riding around here a lot, i would go with either the 400ex or the 250r, but if you arent gonna ride around here much and plan on eventually going to the dunes more often, go with the banshee. i have had a banshee for 7 years now and we go to the dunes once or twice a year, but i wouldnt trade mine for anything. by the way, if you havent been to the dunes, you will be addicted after the first time. so, in conclusion, if you want to do a lot of riding up here, and a decent amount in the dunes, go with the 250R preferably, or a 400ex. if you plan on doing a little bit of riding up here, and have not yet been to the dunes, go with the banshee. i would stay away from a raptor, but thats just me.
