xt45 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 (edited) What is the closest atv to Banshee that you can buy today in terms of the Adrenaline Rush and Wheel Spin ? Edited September 4, 2004 by xt45 Quote
Screamin_Demon Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 One being dropped out of a plane with no parachute what-so-ever. That's the only way to make any quad give an adrenaline rush like a banshee. Quote
2Smoker Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 probably a done up tecate-4 or a highly modified 2 stroke for 250 quad from the late 80's. You just can't get that powerband on a 4-poke. Quote
J.J. Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 GasGas 300 2-stroke, quite a few here in South Africa, but I've never had the oppertunity to ride one, so I'll reserve any comments Quote
SICK BOY Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 I agree the Gas Gas Wild 300. Quote
01bansheeke Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 gas gas probably don't forget the 80's quadzillas ! lt 500 Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 i think the honda 250r is a prety badass quad Quote
Jnatali420 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 i would say the 86/87 tecate 3 was pretty fast.....i am not sure if its the same motor as the tecate-4 or not... Quote
Meat_Head Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 What is the closest atv to Banshee that you can buy today in terms of the Adrenaline Rush and Wheel Spin ? None...The Banshee makes a 250r or any other 2 strokes for that matter feel 4 strokish and boring!!!!!!!! Quote
sredish Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 (edited) Closest as in power? Closest as in performance? Closest as in overall? None! The Banshee is the ONLY twin-cylinder 2-stroke quad that ever was or ever will be, BAR NONE! Now, the LT500 Quadzilla is a power making SOB, it has a pretty hard pull that will make your ass pucker as well. I think that would be the only quad I could compare with the Banshee, just because it's original (being 500cc's) and they most definitely stand out and look different than the average quad. Do I really like them, no. Do I want one, no. But I would say that's the "closest". The 250r is a great quad, but that size has been tried and tested in many different forms, but the 500 has not.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted September 5, 2004 Report Posted September 5, 2004 I've analyzed this thread very closely and I think the only thing that is close is drum roll please.... STROKER BANSHEE Quote
