I need opinions from those who love Honda quads!!!!!!!!!!

To go from a Recon to a Banshee would be a pretty extreme change of pace. I have ridden lots of Banshees - they have awesome power that is very user-UN-friendly. To ride one in the woods would take quite a bit of clutch work although not impossible. I don't like the way they handle, either.
If you think you can get it and sell it like someone else suggested, then maybe it would be a good deal, but I don't think you would be happy with it in the long run if you chose to keep it.
My $.02.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone! Believe it or not, this is a tough decision for me. I really have to assess my riding and decide if I can handle the power of the 'shee. All I know is that in many situations my Recon holds me back; in the speed department, long hill climbs, and sand dunes. I know that the Banshee is better for speed, dunes, and hills. Also, I appreciate the concern, but the Banshee is not stolen and has only been ridden twice. It looks like it came off the dealer floor. I'll keep the details of the trade to myself until the time actually is here for me to make the decision of whether or not I'll trade...I really love my Recon, but I just think it's time to move on. This opportunity seems like the ticket. Again, thanks for all the input!

I think the question isn't so much the brands involved, but the different machine types. You're going from a utility with racks to a pure sport bike. You're also going from a four-stroke to a two-stroke. I think you must examine whether you're comfortable with those significant changes, rather than whether it's a Honda or Yamaha. If you're comfortable with exchanging reliability and durability (of a ute), for the all-out performance and modifiable sport bike, then go for it. Especially if you're constantly riding the Recon more aggressively than it was designed for. On the other hand, can the sport bike handle slower, more difficult terrain? Match the bike to your type of riding, and terrain. If you decide that it does, then decide if can live with the deal. Please notice I did not bash any brand. And sport bikes are a different ownership experience. And two-strokes are a different maintenance experience.
