I'm not starting $h!t here just asking a question. I'm new to this forum or board or whatever. And I was wondering if there are any people in here that own something besides the Grizzly and the Raptor. I haven't seen alot of posts about the Banshee, Blaster, or Warrior. I've been riding for a long time and I remember when they used to be the big dogs. But times change. Are they just obsolete now days? I know they are still sold but....

Thanks
Mike

Future Banshee owner in 4 weeks!

 

Banshee and Warrior sales have dropped dramatically in the past two years. mainly due to guys heading to the big bore four strokes, but they still sell well for outdated quads.

The Blaster was still doing well until the release of the 250EX from Honda. I know they aren't competive with each other on the track, but people who usually buy these machines buy them based on price instead of racing them. A thousand dollars is alot of money to the majority and if they aren't set on beating their buds on the bigger quads, these small machines fit them nicely.

It's interesting though that the 300EX, of all machines, had it's best year since 1998 in 2001. Odd.

 

when people start getting their heads out of their a$$e$ for wanting the biggest baddest quad out there i think you will see a lot of the older more proven quads on the forums.
It a shame that some people can mock others for what they ride. For every quad there is a advantage and a disadvantage.
Not saying that the bigger newer quads are bad.
