nickxc Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Is this quad gunna rule or suck, You all know polaris' history for producing heavy, ugly, slow, automatic quads but they produce some of the best snowmobiles and jet skis out there. This quad seems to be the breaking point in polaris' atv lineup. It looks like a real screamer. My opinion: polaris will prove themselves with this quad and it will be an instant success.

WickedBanshee Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 i think it will be a great all around quad. it will probably be very similar to the cannondale's, which impressed me. it'll have to prove its reliability though. and in a drag, it wont touch a shee. maybe a stock one but when modded, it'll go down just like the rest of em.

87bansheefmf Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 It looks like it will rock. i would have a hard time buying on but look at the raptor as many bad things as you hear about that thing .. i love the banshee and probley get anther as a back up ride 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonsBanshee Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 I just could not see myself riding a four stroke. I love my "two Smoke" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase73 Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 First of all its "AMERICAN" 8) and then with it being american made we can walk down to the local hardware store and buy nuts and bolts easily without having to go to dealership and pay $7.00 a bolt . I have personally drove a polaris 400 2stroke scrambler its a heavy quad but , this thing took a hell of a beating for 2 years straight and this thing allways made it home . I own a 2000 banshee and I will wait until the Preditor is out for atleast a year to get bugs out and then I am buying one I will keep the banshee but the preditors specs are sweet > it has everything allready on it from start and it has the four stroke torque it should kick ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WickedBanshee Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 cannondales also have all the stuff on them if you want to pay 12 grand. banshee riders are loyal to the banshee and very few other machines. 4 strokes are one of them.

Screamin_Banshee Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 I like the looks, and specs. Looks like it will be one hell of a MX/Trail quad..But I think I will stick w/ my shee, maybe one day I can afford another toy (4 stroke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase73 Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 I wont pay that much for it but if it lands in the 7,500 - 8,500 I will . I have that much into my banshee . I can say I love the powerband and power but , I just will never be a trail bike or a track racer . unless you ride in the dunes all day and I dont have that around here in Mass the Preditor is looking pretty good for a second quad just my 3 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minkia38 Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 I saw one, sat on one, raced one, and thoroughly checked it out - I like my banshee alot better - it quite a bit faster too (my banshee of corse), and that one I raced had a new cam in it too. Save your $$ for a different bike - it may have a clutch, but its still a Polaris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
