Default I want a banshee

A banshee isnt a joke, even stock if you do get one be very very very very carefull i cant stress it enough. There are some precautoins you can take with it. ALWAYS wear your helmet even if your just putting around. Set your throttle screw in a bit so you arnt in the powerband as long. Dont go into the powerband unless your in a open field, dont use the powerband in the woods or near anything you can run into. Give yourself time ot get used to the machine its alot different than any other quad out there.

How long will it be before you get one?

How long have you been riding?

How well can you hold on?

The problem with these quads is the lightswitch powerband that can take you by surprise as it comes on out of no where, it really can be a hand full even for me and I'm 32 especially in the trails................wow, Im hyped up just talking about it.

the only thing that makes banshees so crazy is that powerband. sometimes i unexpectedly wheelie just from hitting the powerband to hard. i would wait a couple years before you get one where LEBANSHEE said that you might have a problem turning your banshee around if you hit a dead end.

For some reason the banshee will make you do some crazy things. Just get some medical insurance and you’ll be AIGHT!!

love that POWERBAND[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I'm thinking about getting a banshee as well. My last 2 ATV's were a honda 350x and a tri Z 250. My last 3 snowmobiles have been 130+hp. I can't imagine it would be any harder in the woods than a 2-stroke 3-wheeler (didn't think it was to bad at all). BTW I'm 22 years old.
