Default banshee on trails

i am in the process of gettin a new quad and i noticed a 2003 shee on ebay for 1900 with toomey pipe, boost bottle, new rear tires, renthals and flame decals. Do u think this would be good for my type of riding, i ride trails, some small jumps, a few feilds, hills, mud, snow, i dont know much about the banshee cept it is nasty in drags. I am about 5 11 and weigh 250 or so. is this the right quad for me

no! unless you have the experience to ride pretty fast on those trails, you will not be happy. you will spend most of your day overheating and fouling your plugs. also the banshees suspension is pretty dated compared to just about every other quad out there, but if you want to go really fast, have at it!!!

Not unless you can fly thru the trails stabbing the throttle, the suspension isn't the best (it's like riding a brick)

You can trailride a Banshee, but they are a handful. Setup has a lot to do with it, but it is costly to get one setup to be a great woods warrior. Some people love the powerband hit though, and are willing to sacrifice for it. If you need to do any slow or technical riding, I would just skip right past the Banshee.
