i have ridden plent of 4x4 quads but i want to get a sport atv.

i have heard banshees get ruined when driving at low rpms, is this true?

i have also heard they are hard to handle, is this true?

whats a better quad a banshee or a raptor?

how hard is a raptor to handle?

how fsat is a banshee?

how fast is a raptor?

i appreciate the help

 

i forgot to sya what kind of riding i will be doing with it

i will be riding streets open feilds and possibly some trails (trails will be very rare tho)

 

Well The banshee has more of a boxy type handling, lower to the ground. The raptor has a high center or gravity so you might tend to tip a bit on one. Both are the same stock, but once you start modding you'll have more fun with the shee for what type of riding you do.

 

learning to runa 2 stroke is real easy, you wont foul plugs unless you are really dumb.
banshee's handle well
Raptor is a more compfy ride with reverse.
a banshee is a screamer and if you dont need reverse a lot and don't mind a rebuild after a while, go for it. if you run in wide open spaces i would go banshee.
banshee's do 77mph.
raptors do about 75.
it's neck and neck.

 

Both are good fast quads but are a totally different experience as far as the fun factor goes. The Raptor to me is like a fast automatic Corvette and the banshee is like a stick shift Porsche, even though both quads are manual it just feels that way to me.

 

someone told me if i get a banshee ill be spending more time fixing it then riding it.... do they really brake down that much?

 

they dont break down easily. their just like any other 2 stroke.

 

i have one last question... how loud are banshees?

 

not very loud with the stock pipes. but put any aftermarket pipe on there, and the neighbors will know you're coming. of course, some pipes are louder than others. but they all make that sweet noise when you have the throttle pinned....

 

they aren't as loud as a thumper with an aftermarket pipe........IMO
