I'm having thoughts of buying one once I sell my quad. Are they reliable? Are they fast as everyone says they are? If you own one, tell me about it and experiences you've had. The new Raptor looks nice but it will be hard to get plus I prefer two strokes. Could be some bugs too during the first year.

They are reliable and long as you dont buy one that has been rebuilt top and bottom. They do have a trademark the kick starter rattles. even the new banshees will rattle after a couple of days ridin. You would think after 14 year they would have fixed this problem. The frames are weak and the tors system can fail casue the bike to bog and stall out. but other than that they are a nice bike to ride. Get to know how to use the clutch and there will be a great bottem end.
