lmaloch Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Thank's for all the good input. As far as getting on the pipe in the trails i'm not worried about that. I'm not on the pipe most of the time on my blaster and it does fantastic even creeps very well. I'm sure the banshee is pretty much the same.

R. Rollins Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Sheeeeeiit; Hell no it isnt. You wait till you ride a good Banshee. You will see. It will peel your eyeballs back a bit Id say. Better were some good grippy gloves too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadj1980 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 sounds like the banshee is a little more than you want...considering if you're not on the pipe of the blaster all the time... I would find a z400 or a 400ex. I have had 2 raptors and they arent special at all heavy as hell and top heavy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorboystoys Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 i would say banshee rode my friends 660 and i wooped him in races, through trails. the only think i couldnt beat him in was crawling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshees are for being on it all the time and z400's are awesome for trails my dad has one and it is great on trails. Not to impressed with 400ex's though my dad had one of those as well way under powered z400 blows it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 nah, i can't agree that much. the thing about the shee is how maliable it really is. if you want it to creep, you can make it so, with a verry responsive snap when you nail it. I, too, moved up from a blaster. i've ridden the thumpers, but just can't get away from how fun the banshee really is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmaloch Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Everybody told me i would hate a blaster for riding trails also and the absolute only thing i can't do that the big bikes do is back up. Not too worried about the power delivery on trails as long as the shee isn't going to overheat all the time. My friend has a z400 and it is a great bike. Love the way it rides, hate the power delivery. I'm always over revving it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rollins Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Well if he is even thinking about a new Shee then he better scoop up the last one on E-bay right now. They just re-listed it at $5,999 If used doesnt bother him, there are alot of these available in as new condition, pretty close. What ever he decides, he had better do it soon or the new one will pass on by if that is what he wants. :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedSheeRida Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 i had a blaster with mods before i got my shee night and day difference. i ride trails and its great for them. you'll never need reverse as long as you have enough space to whip it around :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
official_style Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 i have ridden all 3. blaster is a toy, i wont even get into it. stock banshee vs raptor, i would take the 700 if i were keeping the shee stock. the shee sucks the way it comes. shee with shocks axle pipes reverse front rims/a arms etc i would take over any bike any day. so if you dont plan on doing any mods, get the 700, but if you do, get a shee. plus i would have no clue how to work on a raptor, shee is pretty easy.
