Ultimateduner Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 and if you race (at least here) they won't let banshee's in the race, they have banned 2 strokes from atv racing here. The ama has made 2 strokes mx bikes hard to race with the unfair advantage they gave to the 4 strokes also on a side note. pretty soon I perdict Cali banning them from the dunes with all the sticker rule they have. times are changing and 4 stroke rule the track. 454491[/snapback] I seriously doubt that they would ban the banshee from Glamis California. You go the hill and look aroung 1 out of 2 riders on a quad seems to be ridding a banshee. ( or two stroke of some kind.) Even if they do, there is no way they can enforce it, banshees can always out run them. Quote
WALLACE84 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Just out of curiosity do any of you guys thing the banshee and the 250r wil be worth some money later on down the road? Either way im gonna go buy a shee (I already have the 250r)and also buy a 450 and keep them for a long time Quote
Ultimateduner Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Yeah in fact, I'm buying a 2006 banshee to store in the garage. I figured that after a while it will increase in value. Quote
Gargamel Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 don't get me wrong I don't what them to ban 2 strokes abywhere but it will happen someday Quote
RIPPEN Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Yeah in fact, I'm buying a 2006 banshee to store in the garage. I figured that after a while it will increase in value. 454532[/snapback] Damn wish I had the money(or self control) to buy a bike and just let it sit there... The YFZs don't impress me that much Not sure if people are just lazy so they don't like the kick start or mixing fuel or what. Maybe their just not aware of how fun the Banshees are... Maybe they just need to take the Banshee challenge RIPPEN Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 the yfz is a better ride if you race thats why. dont like the kick start on the banshee? no thats what i love about my banshee. kick start or mixing gas has nothing to do it. you go do a couple laps around your local track on a stock banshee then on a stock yfz and you come back and post which is better. and dont tell me that you like mixing your gas Quote
RIPPEN Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 I have ridden the YFZs and I felt like I was riding a log... Heard they got a different seat now??? RIPPEN Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 ya the seat on the 06 is way better imo then the 05. but a little bit of discomfort for a lot of performance is worth it Quote
DemonShee Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 ya the seat on the 06 is way better imo then the 05. but a little bit of discomfort for a lot of performance is worth it 454583[/snapback] Hmmm and most are saying the dis-comforts of the Shee are why it is going bye bye??? NOTHING can compare with the shee when it comes to haulin ass! Quote
txblueshee Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Hmmm and most are saying the dis-comforts of the Shee are why it is going bye bye??? NOTHING can compare with the shee when it comes to haulin ass! 454590[/snapback] My 'shee was as comfortable as a couch... to bad it handled like one too... Mike Quote
WALLACE84 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Yea I think the shees seat is very comfortable actually too Quote
Gargamel Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 Yea I think the shees seat is very comfortable actually too 454593[/snapback] I agree there 100%. After riding a while when we stop everyone I ride with gets off there ride and says there butt hurts. Not me on the shee Love that seat. I even helped a friend mod his sled to take a shee seat. Quote
decon Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 My 'shee was as comfortable as a couch... to bad it handled like one too...Mike 454591[/snapback] even with the suspension you had on it? Quote
txblueshee Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 even with the suspension you had on it? 454600[/snapback] It felt like a 1 ton truck in the air.. it handled great but it took twice the energy to make it that way... arm pump was a big problem also... theres only soo much 9'' of suspension travel can do... It's sad to say but it's almost not even worth comparing the suspension to a 450... Let's not even get on the subject of LT ..... regardless of what the magazines say all of the stock suspension sucks... Mike Quote
RNBRAD Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 it looks to me like everyone is dumping the banshee for 4stroke Quads. whats so damn specail about them strokers? are they already eating up the 350 twin? what gives? 454384[/snapback] If it wasn't for the banshee, I wouldn't have a quad. Nothing can replace it for me. Quote
