kashbanshee Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Alright, now i know that all of us banshee riders, fanatics, and owners love our 'shees but its about time we tell the truth and get it over with. Which quad do like (besides ur banshee) in all round. Looks, performance, reliabilty, sound, etc. I personally like the yfz450 for looks. my freind has one with dual LTE pipes and the sound they make is really cool-dont get me wrong, the banshee sounds Best and looks good to me but if i had to get another bike for looks and sound it would have to be the yfz. So wats urs? Tell us the 'pros' and 'cons' bwt ur banshee and the bike that u lyk. (sory bwt the long post) KashBanshee! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 If I had my choice of bike other than a banshee, it would be two bikes. A HUGE stout 4X4 with everything on it but a sink, and then either a YFZ or Raptor 700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 A HUGE stout 4X4 with everything on it but a sink, and then either a YFZ or Raptor 700. i second that, except havnt ridden a new ktm, i think that 525 is probably pretty nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bancheez Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I would have to say either a KTM MX525 or the Polaris 525 Outlaw. Both are VERY badass machines (thanx to the KTM engines). It would be a hard choice between the two... so i had better get both :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustydemon Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 If I ever decide to buy another 4 poke I think I'll go for the yfz 450.Ive rode the hondas,suzuki, and a kawi and I liked the yfz the best overall but like everything it also has its issues.To me they just dont feel right, I like a higher bar and to sit a little lower in the seat. They also have a nasty dead spot weather its piped and jetted or not which I think is curable with some type of tps bypass plug.For some the fuel injection would be the way to go but I still like to have a carb.The raptor is just too big for me, It feels like I'm driving a car. I liked the Suzuki and the Kawi but was not at all impressed with the Hondas other than the fact that I thought they were somewhat comfortable.

Twistedtrik Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 The Predator. It fits me right, handles really well and is pretty damn powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalinIt Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'd say the Raptor 700R... Looks, power, feel... Great all around bike. The fastest 4 poke IMO... Doesn't take much to open that "little" 700 motor up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BaNsHeE Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Raptor 700r!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin8r Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Kawi KFX450R... Yeah, okay, so I'm a bit biased... but my Kawi rips!!! With a full system, an EFI controller, and a new intake (they need those BAD), it is an animal!!! It handles better than my shee, and is almost as fast (maybe faster in some instances?)... Nothing sounds better than a 2-stroke wail to me, though, and the turbo-like feel when it comes on the pipe is freakin' addictiing, so a Shee will always have a spot in my garage... :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko2000 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I like this thread alot..Great idea.. This past weekend I rode the new 700r, Its okay but def wouldnt be my choice.. dont think it is everything its made up to be... I have rode the honda 450 and the suzuki and I cant say enough about the suzuki...I lined up with alot of different bikes and i handed it to almost everyone on sunday riding that bike...responsive in every gear, smooth and very comfortable...and its great through whoops.... I think the new suzuki will be sitting next to the shee in the garage within the next month...I think im sold...I wanted a 4poker and thats the one for me..I dont like the honda at all..

shanYE west Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'd take just about any of the new 4 strokes out today.. they're all great machines and are getting faster ever year. Not to mention the suspension is getting better every year also!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhughes7 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Definently the new KTM 525, I seen one at the dunes a few weeks ago putting a spanking on all the other four strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trex banshee Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Im gonna have to be the first to say i would get the honda. I like my cousins alot and i ride it alot so its honda for me. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedmelies Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Raptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellicoseBanshee Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 ATC250R (yeah I know, it lost a wheel :biggrin: ) and TRX450R. Hondas have been VERY good to me for many, many years. My Banshee is nice to me as well, better throw that out there so I do not have any trouble in the stable tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
