I have been wanting a race quad for some time now.I like the way the banshee looks and i am used to driving 2strokes.How good of gas milage do they get?I go to a lot of fun runs that are about 20 miles long,can they make it that far on one tank of gas??Also are they really what people make them out to be?What is the top end (stock)?

Do not get a Banshee. Get a 250R, or if you don't mind a 4-stroke get a Raptor or 400EX. My friend got a 2000 Banshee and I liked it at first, but I prefer the 250's over the Banshee, I feel like they have a crappy low-end and same goes for their mid also. If you are going to be in the top of 6th gear all the time than get a Banshee, otherwise get a 250R or Raptor

They can definetly go 20 miles on one tank. The banshee is very quick and very powerful. Its one of the most popular bikes out there so that means that there are alot of mods available for it. Since you have owned a 2-stroke before you are aware that there is a little more maintenance than a 4 stroke. The power band of a two stroke is much different than a 4, so it makes a difference between the bikes. I'm not sure what the top end is stock, I think its around 70mph......anyone??

87 MPH. But, thats top-end, if it were a point A to point B than any Hi-Performance 250 two-stroke will beat it
