ok, here is the deal, in a list of many, this guy is easily in the top five for category of "best friend". I have known him for 15 years and went to high school with him about 14 years ago. I have worked with him for 7 of the last 14 years. I tuned him into atv connection and he loves it. I am just waiting for the phone call or e mail to call me a few names and we can laugh together. As usual the Yamaha boys are crying and thinking I am mean spirited ONLY because the guy bought a Banshee. If he bought a Honda, I would have posted it there, since he would have probably been in the Honda forum. I am seeing if he notices this post and responds. P.S. I had a 99 Warrior with all sorts of stuff done to it and I bought my wife a 2000 Blaster, too, so I was not bashing Yamaha as you all too easily assume. However, I guess that my second post could be taken that way, but it was an insult to him personally. He will laugh, not be mad, but I guess that you would have to understand our competitive nature.

It is a play on my last name which has "z" not "s" in it. Kind of funny hearing a criticism from someone who can't spell common words or use proper punctuation.

So, you are about 32 years old then. Strange, It looked like a post from a 12 year old. I hope your friend isn't like you, we already have too many immature posters on these forums.

Why is it that most all of the 400ex owners that I know think that thier bike is the fastest and most wonderful thing ever built? Could it be that the BANSHEE is the 4wheeler that ALL others are judged by? Maybe the 400ex owners are trying to convince everyone else they too have a fourwheeler that can go over 40 mph. Funny, odd funny that is.

Wyorider....you may want to lighten up a little...Like he said, it's just a joke between friends. By the way..."CRAP MASTER" does'nt sound too mature.

As odd as it may sound I am going to have to take haks side on this. Even though his post sounded like a 12 year old wrote it he gave a good explanation why. I'm sure most of us are not beyond saying, doing, or posting something just to get a "buddy" to react. He seemed sincere in that his response was not retaliatory. Even even to my sarcasm.
So to tick off the rest of you 12 year olds...
my sons 1974 ct70 can beat your 400EX, and the Raptor, and the Banshee. He did it once at the dunes just outside of Chicago. by the way a ct70 is a HONDA!

Well, OK Gary and Holyman point taken. I'm going to assume that you read hakmazter's beginning post before he edited out all of the childish remarks about beating his friend every way possible and then telling his friend how he just bought a piece of crap. If not, that's what got him being flamed.

Hakmazter, what's your friends screen name on here? Let us know so that we can welcome him in and congratulate him on his new Banshee and wife's Blaster. Yes, I'm being serious.

How do you figure that the Banshee is the quad that all others are judged by? If that is the case, why do they keep dragging the old 250R out for comparisons? The only thing a Banshee has over anything else is crazy fast accelleration and wicked top speed. I am not biased, I have one of each.
