kberry Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 hey everyone on the site, i was looking for some kool quad vids and i came across this site. i joined to ask a few questions. im in the market for a quad. i like the banshees, there really sweet my buddy had one for a while it was a fun time. but i wanna go fast, as fast as i can go, and some of my friends are telling me to get the yfz450 or the new raptor 700. i just wanted to hear what you guys had to say.

okbeast Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 "As fast as you can go" definately depends on how much cash you got. Most bang for your buck definately get the 'shee. There's so many aftermarket parts out there it's overwhelming sometimes. What kind of riding are you planning on doing? Quote

What kind of riding are you planning on doing? ya i know its gonna cost a lot of money and there is so many aftermarket parts, i would need help with that. but as for the money it would be like a project putting some in at a time. i just wanted something solid to start off with. i wanna be able to beat all these people riding around my house. i plan to just ride, do some drag racing or something, might go to the dunes but there a little ways away, so just riding around for now. just want something to go fast and if challenged to win.

SoCalinIt Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Put it this way... I had a sick YFZ450 that had every bolt on you could put on it... I went to the dunes all the time, and the only quad that was putting a woopin' on me was the Banshee's. Finally got sick of it, traded my 450 for a pair of Banshee's and the rest is just history! Enjoy being in the front of the pack! Quote
samdust Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 hey a stock shee isnt all that great. but u put some pipes on it and a filter and loose the snorkle or the lid all together and ur already started on the fast track to victory. Quote
Canadarider Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 hey a stock shee isnt all that great. but u put some pipes on it and a filter and loose the snorkle or the lid all together and ur already started on the fast track to victory. U got that right. i bought my banshee stock. I raced a stock craptor, stock z400 and a piped and little mod Predator and won, then i got some pipes, k&n , holes in the lid, jetted, 4+timing, geared and then i worked on the suspension and i can kill them all on the roads and in the woods , it just takes money and time . So get the Banshee and u will be one happy guy .. Ps after riding a shee then , getting on one of your friends 4 poke and riding it around your going to see why the banshee is the right quad for u . its like hold on and shut up and your on the shee Quote
Animalman294 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 NO matter how much horsepower you give the 700 or 450, it will cost half as much to get that same amount of horsepower out of the shee. My brother is buying a 700, because he thinks that it will spank my shee, little does he know that I just put a 421 cubby between the pipes.............. Let the spanking begin............. :yelrotflmao: Oh, and welcome to the HQ this will be your home away from home................ Quote
kberry Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Posted January 9, 2007 hey everyone, thanx for your in put, so it looks like im gonna be looking for a banshee now. wont be till the spring, gotta same up a nice chunk of money. but ive learned a lot and if you got anything else to say message me or email me, i hope you guys can help me this much when i get it and wanna put some power into it. :thumbsup: Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Log on at any time with any question & BHQ will be ready to respond. Just have your wallet on deck!! :biggrin: Really if you plan on modifying the bike as you say you are... Try not to buy a new stocker since all the stock stuff will be coming off. You can always buy used for a good price. I've even seen full moded banshees from the ground up for about 6 G's! Good luck with the new buy & get back to us with pics of what you found! :thumbsup: Quote
