ok lemme see- they spin the tires wildly, which can be great fun and extremely aggravating all at once. i've made some pretty big jumps on mine and never bottomed the shocks out. it was pretty good in the trails, until i got tired of tearing my bike up riding dirt bike trails which are too narrow. i'm not real sure what you mean by mixed stuff, so i'll skip it for now. but their best feature is really simple- anything you want to do to it- or even think you might want to do to it- is out there. just waiting for you to buy it. no homemade crap either. you want a turbo? just look around a little. want a big bore? whose kit do you want? you want to motocross race? drag race? i could go on and on. but the main thing is just keep in mind what you plan on doing with your bike. if you want to trail ride it, don't get a drag race motor. but just remember one thing- no matter what you do- if you ride, it'll be the most fun you've had with your clothes on.

Howler,

You either love 'em or hate 'em.

I have owned a wide variety of bikes and quads and IMO the banshee has it's place and that is on the sand first and works great there with a screaming top end and lots of wheel speed, it is a rush flying down a gravel road wide open but a handful on the trails and trying to do motocross.

Wheel spin is difficult to control in anything but sand because of the light switch motor but can be dealt with, having tried to mx mine at one time the weight bias is poor but can be altered to meet your needs.

Just depends on where you ride most and how you ride, there are several a lot better in the trails and on the track but few rivals on the sand.
