and wheredaya ride...duning....mudding...moto...trails? MY wife and i ride in NH, MA,ME...mostly trails...some pit riding and occasionaly ice riding. She rides a warrior that we modded with works shocks...raptor rims..wheel spacers...wb e-series pipe...denton stabilizer and tag bars (cr high bend). at the time we thought it was the perfect quad for her. electric start...reverse...and 350cc was a respectable start.

since then there have been some nice quads released and we are re-thinking her options...please check in and lets us know what you think about your ride.

 

Hi, I ride a Banshee! My husband also started me on a Warrior. First an older one, then I got his when he went to a Raptor. Mine also had a WB e series, jetted K&N etc. I really enjoyed it at first, we have property, and also ride the Oregon Coast. I was really ready for more power this year, and we were going to put the big bore kit in it. After the research and talking to a lot of "pros" they all talked us out of it and he bought me a Banshee. I really loved my Warrior, until I rode the Banshee. It is so great. I was a little worried about the kick start and no reverse, but after riding it last weekend, I am not one bit sad to see my Warrior go!
Not sure if that helps, considering we definitly ride in a different area. I know my husbands Raptor is nice, but I feel like I am riding a horse. I tried the 400 and it was okay. Never had a chance to try a Z, but heard they were nice. But I honestly don't think I would have been happy with either one.
I know many people really enjoy the ease of 4 strokes, but if you take good care of your bikes the 2 stroke is really not that big of a deal. Also we were told that they are a lot more to run, and are gas hogs. Mine is pretty much stock (which is all I need for now) So I did not use much more gas then his Raptor. The other cool thing is, he wants to ride mine all the time, instead of me wanting to ride his[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img].
