cowlamb Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Hey, I am thinking of buying a banshee this summer or fall. Depending on when i have the $. I will be riding on ditches, gravel roads and fields. Would a banshee work for this type of riding? If not what quad would you suggest? At the moment i ride a old YZ125 at least i will when its fixed. thnx Quote
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 if you gotta ask then I would say no! Buy a moped... Quote
BansheeBrian Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Ditches? Gravel roads and open fields you'd have fun on with a banshee.If you had access to a few decent sandpits up there in Manitoba you should get one. Quote
gipperz Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 There a blast to ride, they'll take alot of your extra cash, cause once you get a taste, you'll want more. Possabilities are endless when it comes to the banshee. They can be addicting. Happy hunting. Quote
cowlamb Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Posted March 30, 2006 Is there any known problems with banshees? I have heard the airbox is a bad design; is that true? Yah, it would be open fields like hay fields and grain fields I have seen people saying thats performance pipes make a huge difference to a banshee`s power; is that so? How high do you have to rev them before you hit the powerband aproximately? How much of a hit does the powerband have? Because with my 125 its like a surge of power that you can feel. is that what its like on a banshee? srry for all the questions. thnx Quote

Hilarious Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) .and i'm a newbie.' srry if my question is like millions of others. srry guys what happened to you ellison445 when you drove a banshee in a ditch? thnx 495046[/snapback] We all start off as newbies. If I remember correctly, he drove out of that ditch/ hole with some bad ass looking blue fullbore plastics and some new shiny rims and a new frame. THe moral to this story could be that shootin your bike into a ditch isnt always a bad thing. Edited March 31, 2006 by Hilarious Quote
ogre03 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 Yeah, I'd say all in all, that ditch turned out to be a pretty good investment for Ellison. Quote

98bonerSTOCKshee Posted March 31, 2006 Report Posted March 31, 2006 omg, how did he hit a culvert????????????? that had to hurt.another question you all have prolly heard before. banshee VS quadzilla. Which is the best? srry 495242[/snapback] I would say banshee just because of the parts supply. I almost got a LT500 before the banshee, glad I didn't parts are hard to get for the Suzuki's. Quote
