gizmoman Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 X2......You got to be kidding....if your not it won't be long b4 you come crawling back to the infamous BANSHEE. Im smoke them all day everyday. I had a raptor 700 before i got my banshee and it was nothing but problems the EFI went out and other stuff which ultimately led to the engine blowing up after a year and it was stock. I always wanted a banshee but missed out on all the opportunitys to get one until i finally got my 05' about 2 years ago i threw a timing plate,pipes,and an airfilter on and didn't even touch the jetting at all it was all stock when i got it, i ride the s*** out of it still even today and never once had a problem out of it not even a rebuild yet and i only changed the spark plugs once or twice and i didn't even have to then, maybe i'm lucky for that but i would never go back to that raptor to many electrical problems and the stealership quoted me 2500$$ to fix it no way, as of now its sitting in back of a shop in pieces and i doubt it will ever get fixed. But to be fair it was no doubt fun to ride it was great for just about anything it was an awesome all around play bike and had good power really good for trails slow or fast paced ones. I would in no way trade a shee for it though and thats my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotta_goatsfast Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 They're just givin him shit. No need to get all butt-hurt. Some people just can't handle the nature of the beast and need a more modest ATV to ride. Owning a Banshee is a hobby in itself. It takes a special skill to ride vs. todays easy-to-ride 4 strokes. The owner has to have a passion about it. If you look at jetting your quad for weather as a chore, its not for you. If you look at it as a project to pass time, then you've found the right machine. The Banshee is right for me, because I usually have the rpms up on the pipe and in the powerband anyway (low end torque wouldn't matter to me) but for my buddies with 4 strokes they are used to lugging it around instead of down shifting. To each his own, I have my reasons for NEVER owning a rapror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustydemon Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 If you insist on doing that do yourself a favor and get a 450. I never had sex with my Banshee but I have been fucked by it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I've seen some pretty quick 700's, but they dont stand a chance with a good built banshee IMHO.... Edited February 2, 2011 by 06specialedition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotta_goatsfast Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 lol, you wouldn't make it a day in construction. Its all giving shit and taking shit there. Of course people here are going to think Banshees are awesome. WTF do you think this site is about? Check out a Raptor forum. To that crowd there is no better ATV. (or check out any 450 forum... ect) Anyway, I guess I didn't realise how thin-skinned some people are. I'll try to keep my wise cracks to a minimum.

Coupelx Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 sounds like some pussies need some tampons in here and learn to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252wheelieking Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Why is it that when someone says they want to get rid of their banshee everyone taunts them. Who gives a shit, if he wants something else so be it, not a big deal its not affecting you in anyway. I say more power to you, if you think it works better for your riding style go for it. Whatever is more comfortable. I swear some of you guys actually try to have sex with your banshee's. Everdently he wants to know if we give a shit or he wouldn't of have posted this thread on BHQ. How you going to say some of us guys act like we're having sex with our banshee cause we choose not to ride nothing but banshee's or express our thoughts. You sound a little on the offended side.....what's up with that? He asked & We answered, so don't get made if we are having SEX with our banshee's. Like you said do what works better for you. When you have been a member to this site for over 10 years you see these stories all the time. I just think its retarded how people act like their is nothing better than a banshee. Yeah their great and fun and what not but their is other good machines too. If he doesn't like it so be it. On this site & in my world there is NOT a better ATV than a banshee. & Congratulation on your 10 yrs. with the BHQ site. Hopefully I will make it that long with my 96 banshee lol, you wouldn't make it a day in construction. Its all giving shit and taking shit there. Of course people here are going to think Banshees are awesome. WTF do you think this site is about? Check out a Raptor forum. To that crowd there is no better ATV. (or check out any 450 forum... ect) Anyway, I guess I didn't realise how thin-skinned some people are. I'll try to keep my wise cracks to a minimum. Thank you gotta- gofast....that's what men do when they get together is just shit talk each other all day. Thats all we do at the track, that's why I never take my wife with me cause the average WOMAN would never understand it & get offended.
