these are the three quad im looking into buying im 5'10" 160 pounds. i ride trails to get to sand pits also the quad has to be good a hill climbs (70ft) i do alot of jumping (7-10ft) wich do you guys think wou;d be the best overall quad for me


im also 14 years old i have rode a banshee and i could handle the power so now this thread isnt just going to say "the banshees speed and the powerband is to much for a 14 year old"


ps about how much can i get these bikes for used year 2000 or newer

 

Id get a shee. u can get a 2000 for pretty cheep now days and they are really fun to ride..

 

i have owned all three bikes. I now have a 04 raptor. the raptor is the best bike i have ever owned. Im 290 6'1. the best suspension is the raptor in my book. I don't race but like to trail ride, jumps, hill climb, wheelies and throw sand around. my 2 cents the ex is to small, over rated, under powered. the banshee is to dificult to work on, old school air box lid, hard to tighten the chain, suspension sucks, always fowling plugs, you have to mix the gas, poor gas milege, kick start,
the raptor is good at everything, has reverse.

 

Between them, as I said in your other thread, 400ex if a kawazukicat is out of the question. Raptors are nice, but tippy. With your size, ex has enough power, and you don't have to worry about getting stuck in the pits when your oneway goes out on the raptor starter. Of the five raptor owners I know, all five of their starters where crap, and have/had to replace their oneway. Bansheee's are o.k. if you like sitting on a fat hog. Can that seat be any wider?
