I currently have a Blaster that I think I am going to trade in for a new Banshee. I know that the Banshee kicks the Blasters butt in all aspects, but I just wanted to know how the Banshee would be compared to my Blaster that I am used to. Performance, handling, fun, etc. I just want to know if I should move along in the trade in.

Thanks

If you have the money a banshee would be a lot better. They are alot faster and better handling. I say go for it.

The only thing I missed when i traded my susuki 250R was the lighter feel & stifer suspension for jumping but once you get use to it you would not even want to go back.

Banshee has an atomic powerplant that has a very smooth "lifts right up and goes" kinda "floaty" feeling to it, while blasters have kinda "hold the f on cuz this thing is gonna roll" kinda jumpy feeling to it.. for me they were both around the same "fun" level, the banshee was faster and smoother but the blaster was smaller and seemed almost as fast cuz of the size and way it handles.

Banshee is a lot better. I went from Blaster to Banshee also. I didnt miss the Blaster one bit...but of course I race. For trail riding the Banshee isn't too good. It doesnt make sharp turns very well. But Banshee's are tons of fun compared to Blaster's.
