Default Who says the Banshee cant................

play around?!?!

It rained for about 3 days recently, so I went over the desert across from my house today with the Shee.

I putted the shee around in first and second gear slowly goofing off climbing over stuff and nice and slow for about 45 minutes
without shutting it off once.

When I was done goofing off in first and second, 2-5 mph for about 45 minutes non stop, I hit the dirt road to head home.
Instantly screamed through the gears. Didnt load up, didnt overheat, didnt get hot, nothing.

Also, my shee has completed about 5-6 complete riding weekends since Ive had it with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
(that may not sound like much, but.. its the most trouble free quad ive had since my brand new 400EX in 01. My KX 500 is equally reliable)

Who says the Shee is not reliable?? Its a 97', btw.

I have never owned a banshee (two-stroke dirt bikes though) but I feel like I have missed out by not owning one[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Well, the Zilla was fun, and fast for what it was when it was jetted and running correctly.

But, I got tired of fixing it.

My father and my friends have had them and they have been a blast. More fun than the honda R was sometimes.

The people who put down the banshee's ablility to ride any terrain simply dont have any experience on one. While they are not the best bike in some aspects or conditions, they can certainly hold thier own and be useful and enjoyable.

I think every one should own a Banshee atleast once. I think they are a Good bike and have their place.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
