thanks for the replies ... which quad would be the best for trails and some dunnes

 

Definitely Raptor, for it's versatility. The reverse comes in very handy when trail riding.

 

That would definately be Raptor
YFZ450 is geared more towards MX
while the banshee is for all out madness in dunes,
but from my experience its a horrible trail machine.

 

the shee is a really nice quad i wont mind taking 1 of those out in the dunes all moded up

 

Watch out buying a 2 stroke:

October 4, 2001


Washington, DC - (MCNW) The federal government has sent a clear signal that it wants an end to two-stroke off-highway motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles by 2006, the AMA reports.
In its recently released proposal for national emissions standards covering off-highway motorcycles and ATVs, the Environmental Protection Agency has set requirements only slightly less stringent than those in place in California, which have severely restricted two-stroke off-highway machines there. Currently, there are no national emissions standards governing off-road motorcycles and ATVs. However, there are requirements for road motorcycles that have been in place for 20 years, and those will be revised in November.

Under the EPA proposal, which is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register early next month, new off-highway motorcycles and ATVs would be subject to strict emissions requirements that would be partially phased-in in 2006 and require 100 percent compliance in 2007. In addition, ATVs would be required to meet even tougher standards beginning in 2009.


2005 is the last year for the banshee right?

Bummer!

 

100% all the way go with the Raptor, a Raptor is my next quad i need something that is good on trails but is fast and it can run at the dunes with no probs!!
