Well fellas I'm really confused now. Yesterday I had to get up in the wee morning hours to feed the baby and just turned on the TV for some light and I catch this big Paid Ad for the "Can-Am Outlander". I watched this 30 minute video on the Can-Am Outlander and how it dominated the Rincon, Grizzly and Polaris so now I'm thinking about the Can-Am 650, do you guys know anything about this bike? Today on the way home from work I saw a '05 Banshee (stock/50hrs) for sale for $4500. What do ya think? I thought that was a tad high.

Hey guys thanks for all the feedback. At first I really wanted a Banshee, but after talking to several local riders who have had both and reading your feedback I think I'm gonna go with the YZF450. I live in WV and the terrain is Mountainous, with wooded trails and monster hill climbs. I think the 4 stroke will be better suited to the kind of riding I'm gonna be doing. If I lived out west with accessible dunes I would buy the Banshee no question. Again thanks for all the feedback and I still have a ton of respect for the 'Shee! It's one wicked machine!

hey guys I'm new to the forum and would like to hear your opinion. I've been out of "offroading" for years and I think I'm ready to get back in. I'm itching for a 4wheeler and I'm trying to choose between a Banshee and a YZF 450. I'm a Yamaha guy, used to have an R6. I've never ridden the new breed of sport 4 strokes such as the Yamaha 450 or Honda 450 but years ago I rode a RM125/250 and my buddy had a Banshee and it was just wicked from what I could remember. I'm gonna mostly be trail riding and wonder which bike is for me? I looked at both yesterday and I can get either one for about 5K new, is this a good deal? My gut says get the Banshee but I've heard they are a ton of maintenance and are tempermental, pluse they haven't changed forever and the YZF is supposed to be the latest and the greatest. Please hit me back with your opinions and experiences. Thanks fellas. Brian :beer:
