Not unless u already have PLENTY of experience riding. A Banshee has some power. U can kill yourself if you dont know what your doing

Hi! Yes I have ridden quads before and I used to own them and sort of understand the difference between 2 and 4 strokes.

Banshees are good for more experienced riders who like to go fast.

Like he said only if you have experience. if you lost control of a Banshee... that would be bad! their power is wicked.

I only let my 14yo ride the Lt250. And that's a lot for her.

Sorry but NO.

They are fun bikes, but you better know what your getting into. Banshees run like nothing else. When the powerband kicks in you better be holding on. They are great at going fast, fast, fast. Slow moving and in the trails they are not that great, very little low end power, turn heavy, low ground clearance. I think you sit too high on them but thats a personal thing. (came from 250R) With the banshee you better know how to work the clutch in tight spots.

When I was 16 the things I did on a honda utility 250 and a 3 wheeler I probably should have been dead. I couldnt imagine giving a 16 year old a this type of sport bike. Maybe I'm just getting old (38) and slow
