Default 400ex vs banshee

If you screw a quad up that much, you dont need to ride, ive rebuilt mine for the first time and its a 97'!!!!!Either that guy knows nothing about quads at all, or he ran a hammer through the intake,lol.I raced my banshee last weekend HARD and i didnt blow it up.

How are you going to say the banshee looks cool and then in the very next sentence say the banshee is a$$ ugly? And this was a 400EX vs banshee thread was it not. I want to know what they were thinking they started saying the 400ex had outdated looks. The banshee has had the same looks since it came out, I think that is a little more outdated than the 400ex, don't you. And about the thing were I have absolutely no reason to be saying crap about a banshee, thats what you do in these kinds of threads, ask all the other people in here bashing the 400ex.

I didnt say the banshee was a$$ ugly, i was restating what you said, then i stated a fact about how well they sell since they are, in your opinion ugly. And i never said the banshee didnt have outdated looks,or said the 400ex had outdated looks.

Yeah, you did say it is a$$ ugly.
I originally said (How long has the ugly a$$ banshee had the same looks!)
I think the only reason they sold so many of the shees is because there weren't any other sport quads out there that could really compete with it. Now they have the raptors,preditors,yfz,400ex,z/kfx/dvx400 and soon to be the 450r JMO. I seriously don't think it will be long at all before they do away with the shees.

the banshee is a unique quad and you cant compare it to nothing out here today, It has its purposes and responds to mods better than any four stroker out here. If you drag race, ride open trails, sand, or anything else a screaming 2 stroke can open up on, the banshee is great. I like the banshee itself and its a opinion, and thats what atv's are about. If you think its ugly ok then I think alot of other atvs are ugly but thats why they have different ones to suit your needs.

I agree, I think the banshee makes a great drag quad. In all my posts I never once put down the performance of the banshee, just it's looks. I used to ride two strokes and the only thing bad about them is they need to be rebuilt more often than the four strokes. Fouling plugs suck too![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Just ride what you have and have fun doing it, isn't that the whole point of having a quad.

I didnt say it was ugly, you just edited it so it would look like i did say it. And there is a way around fouling plugs, buy GOLDEN SPECTRO, ever since i used it, i have never fouled a plug,which has been about 4 months.
