Default blaster to banshee

well just recently I purchaced a 04 limited edition banshee. and I LOVE IT its very fast and rides like a cloud. if you got a raptor it would be fun also but not as comfortable and as stable as a banshee is. Banshees have a low certer of gravity and have much more stability than a raptor. i have freinds with raptors and they like my banshee more than their raptor. also on a raptor when you come out of a turn or judst starting off the front end comes up pretty easy compared to abanshee making it hard to steer or even keep it coing strait when it comes up like that.
so if it were up to me id get a banshee for sure they are great!

If you are already used to riding and maintaining 2 strokes I'd go with the banshee. Oh, and as for you ^^^...you obviously aren't racing the right 4 strokes...don't brag because you took a utility quad off the line!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I had a 03 Blaster and put a Toomey B1 kit on and it made real difference. The Blaster is a great bike and is fun to ride, but a little unstable or another way to put it, too little. I just purchased a 04 Banshee from Alba racing and it is great. Much more power and much more stable than the Blaster. If you have the money and want a faster and much better handling bike I would suggest the Banshee over the Blaster any day of the week. If you want to check out the Banshee I bought go to www.albaaction.com they have a kit they put on all of there Banshee's.

Im not goin to say for sure but i've always heard that the banshee isnt a good trail machine. If yr doin alot of tight twisty stuff i would prolly go for the raptor but again...i cant be for certain.
