I'm not bashig on the Bashee but I've always herd that the banshee handles like crap? Are they that bad? I would like to maybe test ride one one day.

its all in the feel of the rider. My sled is very outdated in suspension but i can fly past everybody in the whoops and they say i have the worse ride of all there sleds but i dont think it is that bad for being as old as it is.

yes sled as in snowmobile(those funny looking jet skis). What i am trying to say is some people can say the banshee is the worse handling quad after they ride their yfz all day long but the person that rides the bashee can ride just as good as the yfz or better in some spots just because he rides it all day long. or in other words i think the bashee rides great but thats becuase i have outdated quads alos but i can get most people threw the whoops at st. anthony

They are really front heavy when you jump them, idk if that was just my experience. My friend has one and he slapped a set of triple rates on it and it helped out alot with the ride and handling.

They werent bad handling but for a time they werent as good handling in comparison to the lt250 and 250r in a racing enviornment which is why they werent used for racing (not talking about drag racing because they are definatly used there).
Thats where the poor handling came from.
