BlueDevil,
Banshees are for guys that aren't very smart & can't make things fast. (most guys anyway)It's the so-called "me-too" quad. They are like 5.0 Mustangs. I had a 5.0 Mustang, you know what the worst part of having one was? Guys like you that go buy a fast car, put an exhaust, pulleys, chip & filter on it & think you own the road. Hmmm.... Kinda like a Banshee huh? Buy a fast quad because you can't figure out how to make anything else fast. Don't get me wrong my friends Banshee is fun, even more fun when my other friend tells him how fast my automatic couch is See the thing is if you knew anything about ANYTHING, then you would know any quad can be fast. Just like any car, I mean an AMC could beat a 5.0 Mustang. You seem like the kind of guy that takes pleasure in beating Polaris Trailbosses with your big, powerful, speed of sound Banshee. You can talk Banshee s**t to some people but I know what they are all about & they are not all that. The fact is you probably don't even own a quad. If you do I'm ashamed to admit I share an interest in the same sport/hobby that some-one as dumb as yourself does.
It's just some people can make things fast and some people aren't smart enough and need to buy them fast. Sound famaliar?

 

Well well seems Ive seen a few post like this before. If you think riding a manual shift is so much better or difficult to do then thats what you should ride. Your first car will probaly be a automatic though seeing as how you want be able to find the clutch with your foot.
Most of the people who ride auto tranny quads choose to because they have found a better way. If I were racing harescrambles or motorx than manual shift would be the only way. But for general trail riding or utility work you will never beat a polaris or any of the other quads with autos. You will however all ways be searching for the right gear.
