My 01 banshee has never left me, however my friends yfz blew up and left him to walk home about 3 weeks ago and about a month before that my buddys raptor dropped a valve and ruined the topend. both quads where around $1000 to fix. You can totally rebuild a blown up banshee (with 2 cylinders) for around $300-$500
You can freshin up the top end on a banshee about 3 times for the price of one 4 stroke rebuild. unless you ride 50000 miles a year you should only have to freshin up about every 3 years or so depending on riding style, care and upkeep, and riding time.
that said, I think everyone should get a chance to experience a banshee once. If you dont like it dont buy one but You should at least ride one they are different than any other quad on the market...
Its a fact that 2 strokes dont last as long (on one bore) and are less reliable than 4 strokes but not by much and if you learn a little bit about them you can have years of trouble free, reliable riding on a banshee or any other 2 stroke.
i dont think anyone should experience the constant breaking downs and headaches

hahaha, sorry kid ah. You have no Idea who you are talking to...
The fact that you've had many failing 2 strokes tells me that you dont know how to tune them. You probly are in 10th grade and your parents had to take your blaster to the shop to get it fixed every time you put deisel in it. I may not have been around these forums long but Ive been in the garrage for quite a while now and I did say that 4 strokes are more reliable. every time someone posts something about 2 strokes you have to pipe in and reply with ignorance. How about this one??
Just more ignorance comming from you!!!
4 strokes- last twice as long, produce much less power, burn less gas, accelerate slower, are easier to ride, are heavier, dont polute as much, are harder to fix...
they all have their qualities and down falls, all im saying is you should keep your hands off the keyboard if you dont have anything constructive to add to the thread!!

the FACT is 4 strokes are more reliable and easy to fix because its obvious what is wrong with them

Everyone should experience a 2 stroke such as the Banshee.

WOW, this coming from a raptor owner. Those have more mechanical defects then a quad zilla. At least banshee's break becaue the owner screws up. My friends 03 tranny just blew and he takes great care of that thing ([probably as good or better then anyone on here). It just in typical fashion $hit on him.
