im thinkin about gettin a new 4 wheeler, cant decide which one yet, im leanin toward the banshee, any major differences between them, besides the banshee being fast as hell?

 

?

 

Well,
If you want speed the Banshee is definately the way to go. The Z,KFX,&DVX are good handling but will not have the speed the Banshee has. If anything a Raptor, YFZ450, DS 650, and some others have the speed but are 4-strokes. It is all on rider preference. It sounds like you are a aggressive rider. I would definately go with the Banshee or Raptor, 450. The new Honda 450 is nice too but it depends if you like kick start?

 

kick starts are alright with me, my blaster has a kickstart. ive been ridin my friends banshee fer a month, ive been thinkin about gettin the new 2005.

 

I like the Limited Editions, I almost bought one but I am not all that mechanically inclined and I didn't want to deal with mixing gas and all that stuff. I am also a big guy so I settled for the Z400 that could hold my weight better and had a good price tag. Have you ridden the Raptors? Or what about the Predators? Well heck while on the subject what about the YFZ450's? Do you really like the Banshee's that much? Sounds like your mind is made up.

 

the banshee is bang for the buck, that 450 is 7 grand, not that much zip either

 

if i had the money, id definetly go for the yamaha 450

 

Yeah no kidding. I would have bought me a DS 650 if I had the money! Banshee's are cool. That is all I used to ride before I started looking into buying one myself. I was going to go for a used one, but I didn't want to hassle with it, not knowing what people have done. Especially, since they get modded all the time.

 

yea i know thats y im prolly gonna go with a new one. i can do carburetor work, and alot of my friends have rebuilt banshees, so i think im covered there. i dont know but i was really tempted to get that 450 but when i saw the price tag i got pissed off

 

Your telling me! I about had a heart-attack when I went to the Yamaha dealer and the YFZ450 was $9,200! I was like what the #$&*^ are you talking about. Then I went to another dealer local to CA (Alba) and they had a highly modded Raptor for I think $12,000! Then I was like what the #@*^! And I a 4-stroke!
