yea, a wish i could have a banshee, and will probably get one next summer. but for my first quad my parents won't let me have a banshee. the d*ck down at the dealer told them alot they didn't want to hear ("with a pipe, you can pull the front end up so far in 6th gear you can flip it over"), but of course, that's exactly what i wanted to hear.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] now i am prolly going to get a raptor. i found one (2003) with a wb slip on pipe, jets, and nerf bars for $4150. seems like a good price to me.

 

This is just my opinion here. Please dont take it the wrong way. But you are comparing 2 completely different machines that are miles and miles apart. There are so many machines in between that would suit everytype of riding. I would have to say, and this is my opinion. If you were comparing the shee vs. foreman because your not sure what kind of ride they are, definately get the foreman. This just because the banshee needs alot of attention and alot of finess on the trails. A funny little saying, but usually true, when in doubt, get a honda!

yea, i know what i was looking for now. i am thinkin about goin with a raptor or ds650.

 

I looked hard at the DS650, however NO REVERSE and that is a heavy quad. Turning that thing around by hand would really suck!

 

I have both!
For the sport I went with a KFX400.
For the Ute I went with a P360.
My advice is to get some seat time on different machines before you decide. Go to the dealers and test drive everything. One more thing...wear your helmet!

 

I love my sport I dont think I could every go to a ute.......Not after the power

 

one fun thing about starting out with a utility is that if you switch to a sport quad you'll be able to ride hills like you never imagined. i know from experience [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
