Default Banshee or Mojave?

I need help! My dealer tells me that they both weigh about the same, have the same suspension, have been around about the same amount of time (proven reliability), both have a manual clutch, and kick start. He also said that performance is similar since the Banshee is only 50cc more. I am not sure what to think about this since the Banshee is like $2000 more. Is a Yamaha that much better than Kawasaki? The Kawasaki 400 is out because it is a Suzuki and I HATE Suzuki and that is probably too much power going from 300 or 350 to 400. What do you guys think?

woah! these quads are SOOOOOOOO different its not even funny. to think of comparing these two on any level of performance is insane. the mojave is so wimpy compared to a shee, i really cant think of any way theyre comparable.

okay, the more i read your post the more things i find wrong with it. first of all, the mojave is a 250cc. second, its a 4 stroke. its also a single cylinder. i would guess it puts out about 15hp. the banshee is WAY more performance, its a 350cc 2 stroke, twin cylinder. it puts out almost 40 hp. the z400/ kfx400 is a single cylinder 400, but its a 4 stroke, so it puts out a lot less power than the shee, only about 30.

LMAO!!! That was a good one!! If your relly serous about this question your dealer is a COMPLETE IDIOT! and knows absolutely nothing on earth about quads. First of all the mojave is a 250 4-stroke out dated motor from the early 80's i believe and is not even in the same universe as the banshee! The banshee is a 350 twin 2-Stroke which is the king of drag racing when modded and in stock forum absolutely kill a mojave in a drag race not even funny. If I was you i would go find another dealer... LMAO

i just cant get over how sad it is to see someone judging a bikes power just from its displacement.
