the frame/suspension geometry of a banshee leave it a little lacking in the trails,,,,and the power delivery can be overwhelming in the tight stuff

For trails,,,go with a 4 stroke

z400, raptor, 450r, yfz450

Banshees are great for drag racing and sand dunes but you will be happier with a somethong else for the trails.

I have a temp guage and only ride trails and never over heat.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] If you get good on a banshee you'll definetly be faster then the raptor. It sits like a monster truck and vibrates like crap. Yeah it has low end. If your trying to go fast you dont use the low end so dont worry about it. And on the occasional run on the street or open trail it'll take a big bore to keep up with you with simple bolt ons. Please dont buy one. As for the kfx. There a prefect bike for chick riders. Definatly not fast. But since most chicks are weak they come with reverse and a magic button. Get a shee learn the power band and how to jet and you'll smoke those 4 jokes and have more fun while doing it. Plus when your on a muddy trail you can wait up for them and throw crap all over them and they cant return fire. Ride both and I guarentee you pick the shee.

the reason i want to get the banshee over any of the newer 4 strokes is because i love the top end power and pull of the 2-stroke. i also can't afoord any of the newer 4-strokes, so i feel the banshee is worth a try...if u think so too, than please keep posting!!

You will love a Banshee. No need for mods when it is new. If you've never ridden one the power will alreayd feel insane.
