Default banshee or not?

this kid in my grade wants a banshee. the only thing wrong with that is that there is no sand around here and only woods. this will also be his first quad, yet he has ridin an atv a little. i always thought that banshees sucked in the woods, and tight trails, am i right? i tried to talk him out of it but he won't listen to me. what do you guys think about him getting a banshee.

Banshee's like to be in the open but they can work on the trails, just takes a little more rider effort to keep it in the meat of the powerband.

yes, but it would take a lot of money to make it good for trail riding.

How old is this kid? If u ride it in tight woods u will have to have to use the clutch alot, lacks bottom end. Not a typical first quad.

I would agree with everyone on this. A Banshee isnt the best beginner quad and to lear to rige it in trails and forest is even worse for a beginner I wold suggest picking something a little easier to ride for him to start on.
