OK fellas, I currently have a 500 scrambler 2x4 with 30 hours.

Completely dissatisfied.

I want to go fast with good suspension, so I rode my buddy’s banshee WOW that thing is everything I want hammer down screamer, so I go to trade my bike off and no one wants my Polaris.

After reading here, I hear the 400 is awesome so I am thinking I can trade mine off so the 2 stroker or should I just bite the bullet for the shee?

I love that things power band, I really want one but I see you guys make the 400's scream and since I know I can get a good trade should I just go for the 400?

Let me hear some comparison numbers how to make the 400 scream and such, please fellas I need some help here.

If you like the banshee, i think you should try a Raptor, personally i think thas its better than the banshee.

all i can say is that a stock raptor will beat a stock banshee, on a drag race and trail riding. I saw it whit my own eyes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

You can trade for a 400 and be perfectly satisfied! I have a 400 Sport and wouldn't trade it for TWO Banshees!! A banshee can't touch me! You can check my machine out at:

The 400 will run with the Banshee with enough mods. With enough mods and cash, a polaris 250 would do the same. THe Banshee is a VERY underrated atv that rocks. Why be brand loyal? You owe Polaris nothing, get the atv you want/desire.

If you are "completely dissatisfied" with your Scrambler 500, then I can't see getting another Scrambler. The 400 will be faster and can be modded to be faster than any stock machine, but why? If your that excited over the Banshee, you should with out any doubt get one.

So the 400 suspension just can't handle jumps and hard riding either?

Same Suspension, just a little lighter.

Watz~
Since you have a 4 stroke now, you might be interested in staying with a 4 stroke. Ever thought of the DS 650? Excellent suspension and more power than the Banshee. Granted, it is more expensive to buy new, but it is an amazing step up from a Scrambler! It shows just how limited the Scrambler's suspension and engine power are. If you can find a good price on a DS, I would definitely say grab it! The Rotax engine is bulletproof and has many companies offering aftermarket parts. Also, adding mods to a four stroke won't be much more than a Banshee because the banshee requires 2 of everything(carbs, pipes, porting, etc...) I don't know if you're at all interested, just hoping you don't forget about the yellow bomber!
