hey guys.. im thinkin of buyin a banshee.. wut can i expect out of it stock... my friend is gettin the Z400... how do these compare?... and how much do these things run for cost wise?

 

stock for stock, he'll get you out of the hole(because of wheelspin). then you should come around him fairly hard. in an eigth-mile race, you should get him by 5 or 6 lengths. if you buy new, expect to pay sticker. i've never heard of anyone getting a "killer deal" on a new banshee.

 

how fast is the shee compared to the z?
and how fast does it get to top speed?

 

I got a brand new 2002 left over for $5000. So, good deals can be found, but I had also purchased 4 other quads from this dealer in the past two years.

The banshee is a blast, fast, much faster when modded, and just plain fun in my opinion.

Most people dont keep a banshee stock and it responds very well to modifications. Like pipes, filter, carbs, etc.. Stock vs. Stock, the z would get you in the first 20 feet, but then its no competiton. The banshee is lower and has a lower center of gravity so its better for climbing. A banshee with pipes and a filter usually own all over Raps and Z's, but is about the same as a good running predator. I recommend one. Stock, they go anywhere from 70-74. Mine with the mods is has and 17 tooth front sprocket hits 97.

Yep, it really doesn't make sense to say a stock Banshee because without a pipe they are so restricted on power. Still, stock the Banshee is faster than a 400 and in the neighborhood of a Raptor, C-Dale or DS650.
