Bansh88 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Go with a cheap ass Warrior or Blaster. 10 to 1 she will never ride whatever you buy. Seen it a million times. OR buy another Banshee for her, all well knowing it is just a secondary bike for yourself! Quote
mybadbanshee Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 buy her a shee, cuz ya know shes gonna say "Well how come yours is better than mine?"i got a nice one for sale too. Quote
broke Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 I'm kind of in the same boat. After ALOT of shopping, a 400ex looks to be the winner here. Safe, reliable, boring, smooth, easy to ride bike. The Blaster is a close second though. Quote
BansheeJen Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 Ive seen it several times with guy friends of mine. They buy their girlfriend a bike cause they bitch and complain they want to go ride with them and have fun. Then inside of a couple of months they generally quit riding. Dont waste a lot of money on anything until you know if she'll ride regularly or not. Some will, but a majority wont. As for choices though like everyone else said a 400ex or a warrior. Both decent starter quads and you can get them reasonably cheap, and can resell them easily when or if she quits riding. Quote
ellison445 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 My wife rides a blaster and she aso rides a banshee. She likes the blaster much better though, its fast enough to keep up in the trails and easy to use when ridding with the kids Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Posted July 11, 2005 kick her ass to the curb and find one who doesnt want anything...no but really, stay cheap until u know for sure she will actually ride...400ex sounds about right. Quote
quad4me Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Z400 IMO. I like those bikes..and if/when it comes down to it..you can still go ride it. The blaster would suck to have as a spare or to try to sell. .02 Quote

I vote for the zuk. Mike Quote
demonspeeding42069 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 if you really must go with either one i would stick with yamaha and go with the raptor.... just my opinion Quote
