im lookin to buy a quad for the dunes and heard good things about both bikes
but heard the banshee tends to have some problems
i want to keep it in the 3k dollar range just want to see what you guys recommend
thanks

 

they are both excellent machines for the dunes if this machine is only going to be used on the dunes and no where else i would say banshee but if there is a chance you are going to ride other places as well i would say raptor.

welcome to the forums

 

alright thanks alot

 

All my buddies who have been die hard dune Shee riders for 20 years are getting rid of them and getting 4-strokes....I think that is telling us something.

 

thanks for the input
yah wish i could get a yfz450 lol just dont got the money

 

another question

since it sounds like i should go raptor
what size do you guys reccomend a 350 or 660 would want to go any bigger or smaller
would the 660 be a little big and heavy for the dunes does the 350 have enough power?
thanks

 

for the dunes.... def 660

Thats cuz they are getting old and cant handle the power =] jkjk

 

For your price range there are better machines brother. But if you're a die hard Yamaha guy I would get the Raptor. If not there's alway the Z400 or DS650 both of which are in large supply for $3000 and under. I've even seen some decent 450 Honda's and Yamaha's for close to $3000. Good luck in your endeavors.

 

I Gotta agree with Silverbomb, but cause you just can't beat the ride of a DS, Yeah there big, heavy, no reverse, but they ride like a couch on the dunes.
