I rode a Banshee Yesterday ( 1st time ever ) and damn holy hell omg and wtf !!!!! That thing runs like a raped ape . I'm starting the search for my own , I'm gonna continue to work the blaster and when my kid is ready she will get it . The Banshee I rode is for sale , I wish I had the cash right now , I'd drop the money on it without thinking twice . The blaster is great for now , the Banshee will be sick to own/ride .
This is what I have in Mind

Back in 2000 I rode a maxed out banshee. The guy had everything you could do to the motor. I had a hell of a time keeping the front wheels on the ground. It was sick fast.
 
If I get a new quad it's going to be a banshee for sure. Only problem with them is they're twice expensive for everything...

Thats what my Buddy keeps bitching about ( he rides a jetted and piped 400ex , which can't keep up with Banshee's ) so he's trying to sour my ear to the idea " yeah you gotta have 2 pipes , 2 pistons , 2 carbs blah blah blah " He just doesn't want to get roosted like crazy . So his latest thing now is lookin at the 525 KTM's , but he's worried about the faulty intake boots that have been reported as cracking and causing air leaks and blowing up them new motors off the showroom floor .
 
You guys crack me up. Banshee parts aren't that much more expensive, just because there is two of everything. A banshee motor has so much potentical and parts are dime a dozen. Swing into the BansheeHQ - Home and you can buy nice used stuff all day long. Banshee's are like Blasters they are a dime a dozen. Pick up one cheap and buy and trade parts and you can build a nice machine. from start to finish - Banshee HQ Forums this isn't mine but a good example of a cheap banshee.
 
God. I wish i can ride a banshee. :( The biggest quad i can ride is a 300! f*ck! Thats why i own a blaster. :( I ride a 400ex but the throttle is reduced. :(
 
Well I'm gonna go look at a banshee today !!! Talked it over with the better half and she's cool with it I found a 2000 for 2k and in great shape clean title and ad says it's solid maybe I'll be taking a blaster and a banshee to Florence next week!!!
I'll keep u guys posted
 
That's because your 12. My daughter just moved up to a banshee at 13 1/2. She's been riding quads since she was 5.
