Default Banshee vs Raptor vs YFZ

Ok you hear so many different people saying so many different stories about these three quads. Which one would be considered the king of the three.

oh man. everybody always asks such general questions about these bikes. im not trying to be mean man, but its just there is no king of the three. none of them do EVERYTHING better than the others. they all have their strong points and weaknesses. its all about what youre gonna use it for. if you want a real comparison, make it more of a specific question, ex. which is faster in trails; which is a better mxer; which has more power; which is a better duner, etc.

ya i know, but i kinda want the understanding of which would be better overall. I am wanting to buy one, but i don't know which one. And these are my basic three choices, so i thought i would see what people have to say which is better overall.

Ridley's right, there have been a lot of threads about this exact subject, just look through the old threads or search for them and youll find info about almost any question you have. if you cant find an answer to something, make a thread about that specific question, but the info to most of this is already out there.

still too general, what are you planning to use it for? have you ridden before? do you want speed or power? does money matter? comfort? low speed riding? etc.

Ride all three and then you make the choice. I could tell you the raptor 90cc is the king and if I was a 5 year old kid then to me it would be because it would meet my needs. Nobody knows whats best for you but you. JMO

man, try not to spread that rumor about shees. i know a lot of people whove had pistons blown, but every one, yes every last one of them was an idiot. they ran the engine too high, too hard, threw on aftermarket mods without making sure they were okay with all the other components, did engine work from unreputable companies, one of em was so dumb he forgot that a shee uses premix, ran it for about 5 mins on straight gas, the thing overheated and siezed. its not the bike, its the rider. yes shees are more likely to have engine probs, but only when treated badly.
