I currently have two Arctic Cat 500's, and I do enjoy riding those, but I am lookin for something to really play with. I was consdering a Yamaha Banshee to start with. I have looked at most of the others and this seems to be the best. Would you recommend this Quad for someone that hasnt ridden a sport before? How is maintance? I would be buying new. thanks.

 

Humm thats a good question
for someone that has never ridden a sport quad before I don't know if I would suggest the Yamaha Banshee its got a good kick to it.
The I would be more inclined to suggest is somthing like a Honda 300ex or Kawasaki mojave and maybe if you want more power than the 300ex try out the 400ex. And there Hondas so you can't go wrong

 

You asked about maintanance, well a two stroke like the Banshee requires much more than a four stroke. As of now, if I were you I would get a 400EX. But better yet I would wait on the new Yamaha's and Kawasaki's coming out to see what might fit you the best. The four strokes alow you to putt around until you want to get radical.

 

Check out the Yamaha Warrior, it has reverse. and I its cheaper.

 

I meant I think it's cheaper, I'm not sure.

 

Well I have considered the Warrior as well, but it didnt appear to have as many Aftermarket options as the Banshee. I may consider a Honda, but I would have to find a decent dealer since the closest one sucks. For putting around I have my cats, but I am looking for something with more speed and to really play with.
