just rode a stock banshee
wow. this is the fastest quad I've ever ridden. I guess that isn't saying much when the second fastest quad I've ever ridden is my piped blaster. my step dad just bought a banshee about two weeks ago. When I was driving up and down the street I was thinking that the shee was way too tame and that there was something wrong with it until I let the motor rev a little higher and hit the powerband. My butt almost slid off of the back of the seat. The power-band hits HARD, well atleast compared to my piped blaster. It goes from zero to eye watering fast in about 4 seconds. It has got to have the weakest bottom end power in the world. The bottom and midrange are non existant. There is either on the power-band or having a hard time not stalling it. My blaster has alot more bottom/midrange power than the banshee. I am dead serious. I have a hard time not stalling it when I am trying to get it rolling. It definitly has a light switch power-band. I couldn't imagine riding wheelies on one of these things. It must be faster than my blaster in fourth gear. Would a set of pipes help bottom and midrange any?

I know what you mean about the bottom end. When I bought mines while at the dealer I went to drive it up my trailer, and....I couldn't get it up because it had no power , even if I gave it more throttle it didn't even respond, almost like the accelerator wasn't working, so I shut it off and pushed it and said to myself "what did I get myself into" being that i traded in a 686 Raptor for it. But once I learned to drive it, and keep the RPMs up it's great. But here's what it's like now after a pipe and port work this thing rips with a good bottom end that goes up any hill with ease and will scare the most experienced riders with it's light switch power band that's insane!

i have to disagree...... my first ride on my first banshee when it was stock made me feel like selling it! i thought it was a gutless p.o.s! but after doing a lot of mods it woke up the little monster!
the banshee is by far the king when it comes to speed and horsepower .... but when stock they are pooches!!!!!
