I like the banshee, because you have the fastest one ever built.

for a sport quad, I'd say the Tecate 4, and just because it was only made 2 years. Never ridden one or anything, but its kind of cool. The runner up would be a tie between the 87 Banshee and Zilla. Two straight line speedsters that were the talk of the town when they came out.

for a utility, I'd be lying if I said anything other than the 660 Griz. Somebody finally put all the features I wanted (except a manual tranny) into the same bike, and I didn't hesitate to buy it. Whether it will hold up is a different story, but that would be my favorite. Runner up would be the 1998 grey Kodiak (I liked the color and the headlight setup), and third would be a tie with 97 Bayou 400 and 97 Sportsman 400. These aren't choices for best bike, just ones I liked for wierd reasons.

i know you didn't just say the banshee was the fastest quad ever built. there is no arguing with 500cc's of two stroke power. aren't the banshee's little 350's or something? banshee's are pretty good too though

Those same little Banshees are only 1 or 2 mph off of the Raptors and Bomb's stock for stock when you get down to it. The Zilla is still the stock top speed king though.

I'd have to say my Raptor. I don't like 2-strokes in the woods.
If I had some dunes I would have to say a Banshee. I've ridden a few highly modified ones and it ALMOST gives you that streetbike feeling.
Also the stock LT500 is much more unreliable then a Banshee, but if you don't mind spending the money the aftermarket has alot of stuff to make the LT500 pretty bulletproof.

It's a hard choice, there are so many. I have never ridden a Tecate but they do look cool and are supposedly blazingly fast. Yes I know my profile says "2-stokes are 2 strokes to few." But thats because I ride in tight woods. If I rode in the dunes I am sure it would say something else. And I would actaully like to buy a Tecate if I had the money. But I don't so what can you do.
