To a Banshee from a 250R?
I'm new to the Rochester area and will be getting a feel this week for the places that I will be able to ride and what
would be best for me. Plus I gotta remember that my main riding partner (my son) will be on a Desert Cat 90 so I can't leave him in the dust all of the time.

Thanks ...I see you don't sleep either. LOL! Thanks for the link!
I have some friends that own 100+ acres in Sodus that I am going to check out. Plus there are some guys that work with my wife at B&L that know of some places as well. I'll get the skinny on them this week. I also have a Buddy in Batavia with lots of open land as well.
I plan on having to get a trailer to hook up to the Trooper otherwise I know I won't be riding it.
Edit: Somehow I deleted your PM Scooter86. Could you send it again. I definately have to get used to this style of forum. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Plus you want a rideable bike to your area. Banshees are great in open areas where unleached riding is the program, but a ton of work to ride in tight spots due to the narrow, "lights on" powerband and could provide a less than enjoyable experience. Eventhough I'm a Honda guy, I think I would recommend the Yamy 450. It's a great bike with a great torque factor. Although, if you can find a zilla it's a good all-around bike too, but a bitch to start unless you know how to do it and even then she will give you a headache from time to time. Also, Suzuki does not provide parts as long as Honda or Yamaha does.

Never really had a problem with the 250R at all in the woods and trails were I lived so that was why I was giving the Banshee a look.
I definately know that. I thought my 250R was cold blooded....my friends Quadzilla was even worse!
My wife made a suggestion tonight that made a bit of sense. Maybe I should go for the Raptor 350 now or Honda TRX 400EX...since I'll be putting along with the 8 yr old for more than a few years with his Unison Desert Cat 90 and when he is ready I can give him the Raptor or Honda and move myself up to a larger quad then.
Too much to think about. Plus I need a new lens or two for my Canon....

Oh I know that, but just thinking out loud here about the trails I will be on and other factors....
Being a Gemini makes this a really intersting process. I'll go into the dealer with my mind made up and
will probably change it three times before I sign any papers.

as i mentioned earlier in the list and as i see more of what you want to do and riding with your kid, i think a 400ex or z400 is your ticket to ride. some dealers still have 04/05 models left over or nice used ones (near mint, ive seen them) so you can save some $$$ here. IMHO, the z400 is the best bang for the buck right now; may not have efi like the raptor (personally i wouldnt buy the 06, wait for the 07) but it is a great all round bike. im thinking about getting one. only thing about them (05 and up models; consequently the better performing, improved models) is a cover corroding problem. do a search on these forums- its to much for me to type here!
