what is 05 banshee like?

 

It's like nearly all the rest of them.LOL!Seriously,the banshee is a good quad.Great for drag racing and the dunes.That's where they are the best as far as I'm concerned.Trail riding is possible for riders with plenty of clutch experience.Mods really wake-up a sleeping giant in a banshee. For what I do,the banshee is by far my favorite.

 

If you are going to get one dont bother getting a new one. you can get used modded ones for cheaper. they havent changed the motor or anything.

 

That is true.

 

If you ride dunes or wide-open on the trails they are great (maybe even the best) but if you do a tight 'n technical woods riding they arent the best.
Unless you have a lot of experience Id pass on the Banshee. They have a narrow powerband and unless you are really skilled at shifting at the right times and working the clutch you wont be able to get the most out of it.
Cap'n

 

yep, that's true.................

 

my banshee was sick and really worked nice with pipe/filter but it got stolen about 3 weeks ago. i used to ride trails with it and it worked find but just every once in a wile you have to hold the clutch and rev it high in a trail ride or else your going to fail plugs faster. i never failed one plug for the 8-9 months i had my banshee.

 

its all in how and where you ride. if you ride tight trails, i'd stick to 4 strokes. you've gotta be really good with a clutch on a 2 stroke and keep it revved.

 

the shee must be doing pretty good since they have been making them for 20 yrs now. to bad this is the last yr.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

The end of an Era

Mine has been great

I'm hoping the 450 will live up to or surpass the Banshees rep. ( in my case )


Although while riding mine (450), I'm always looking for 1 more gear .
