Default I need help with a Decision ( Please Read & Reply )

Ok this is my deal i posted a forum about a week ago took in the replys did some researching and came out with this:

1) Blaster- Nice 2-stroke begineer, good aftermarket, nice quad overall.

2) Raptor 350 - Nice 4-stroke, easy matience, ok aftermarket, good intermediate, nice quad.

3) Banshee- Nice 2 Stroke, huge aftermarket, advanced quad, all around very nice quad people say its not for me.

This is my story. I've been riding on and off for about a 1 1/2 years. My first time riding was on ice in michigan with a z400 Suzuki. Then i got on a almost stock Banshee and rode that. Had little problems with shifting but that's it. Now im 5'3 and 100 ish lbs. But im growing very fast ( 2 inches in the last month) So i need a nice quad to grow into. Now my dad's friend is a Banshee expert so that's a plus for him. I also have other riders in my family so it can't be just for my height and weight. So my dad is leaning toward the Banshee forshore. I really like the banshee also but if there is a better quad i need to have convincing reasons why i should get that over the banshee. I will be riding all year long. I need the best all around quad.

Thanks for the posts,

Tony

the last time i answered one of your posts, i said to go with the 350 raptor--- and i am stickin with it
banshees are for expert riders only, IMO they are way too fast for a newer rider. you mention that you know a banshee expert- the only thing he is gonna do is make an already fast quad even faster--not a good idea especially considering your size and the fact that you had probs shifting
i say 350 raptor---ride it for a few years till you are more experienced then trade up for a banshee [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

ok Yes my top 3 choices as of now are :

1) Raptor 350

2) Honda 300 ex

3) Honda 400 ex

Is the 400 to much if it is that's cool. Now which to choose from these 2 is the question...

{Edit}

I've been doing some more researching and they say the Raptor is way better then the 300ex. And the 400ex is better then the Raptor. So I think ill probably go with the 400 ex, any more opinions?
