Ok so i know the title means nothing but its the first thing that came to mind. I dont know i might have issues, lets not look into that. Anyways, i cannot seem to find good info on the internet about quads. the abnshee in general has always had my eye. I ride a 650ds now and would lke to make a transition to a lighter quad. I am told that banshee are not for trail riding. Why not? My 650ds cant be any better...... right? What am i missing here? The main thing is i want a light weight, fast as hell machine. Any thoughts, comment?

 

If you want fast...Go with banshee...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

It's just a matter of what kind of trail's you want to ride, the trail's i ride are mostly mountain's with a lot of steep hill's with rock's with creek crossing's with huge boulder's and some mud hole's ! But i've seen all kind of atv's ride the same trail's as i do, the 2 stroke's just need to ride faster to keep from over heating. The racer's just have to get a run at the hill's, the quad's with power racing band's have the most trouble going up steep hill's with the big rock's...........williebee

 

You may want to look into a banshee, or a raptor 660r if you are going to do trails, its like gobs and gobs or power!

 

heres my 2cents. the 450's have cooling fans.

 

The trials that i ride on are pretty flat, and straight we usually go like 35-50 on average. Is that fast enough?

 

well the banshee should be good if you ride that speed. 35-50 i ride mine with my kids. i thought you meant really slow trail riding. if so the 450 is what i'd do if money were no object. keep in mind the banshee is a 2 stroker and the 450 is a 4 stroke. scented trail riding or non scented. heres to you Mr. indecisive trail riding dude.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
