chevydude Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 Hey, I'm new here, just signed up. I just have a few questions about banshees. I've been wanting a new bike or a quad for a while now. I decided that I would like to get a banshee. Most of the riding I do is trail riding and sometimes I ride in gravel pits and sand. I'm a fairly novice to intermediate dirt bike rider and I was wondering if the banshee is a good quad for me. If I do end up getting one, what are some things I should look for when buying one. Like what are the good years for the banshees, upgrades that have been done to it and so on. I don't plan on modifying too much or doing a complete overhaul on one since that is what im doing to my truck right now. Thanx in advance, Calvin, the chevydude Quote
blueshee03 Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 hi and welcome to hq.yeh go with a banshee.it don't matter what year really they are all great and have had very little changes through out the years.the 87-89 were j-arms and then they went to a-arms.both were great and althouggh i prefer the older j-arm frames because all i do is drag race mine.most ppl prefer the newer a-arm set ups.the motors have remained unchanged since the beginning for the banshee.alot of people get a banshee and don't plan on modifying it to much but after you get one and get to haveing fun on it ,i'm sure you'll start upgrading and modifying.it becomes an addiction.

You can set it up for trails, duning, dragging, etc. The aftermarket for banshees is incredible...you have a LOT to choose from. Welcome to the forums Calvin! Quote

If I had the money to spend, I'd spend it. If I had the means to house 10 of these bikes I would. Hi, my name is Stan, and I'm an addict. Quote
chevydude Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Posted April 3, 2006 So whats the difference between the J-arm and A-arm front ends. Is when stronger then the other. I don't want to buy to new of a quad because I'm kind of on a tight budget because of my truck, so I'm looking for an older quad that is in good condition. I plan on leaving it stock until I improve my riding skills so I can handle the extra power the mods will give me. Thanx Quote
