turbowrenchhead Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 When I got back into atv'ing five years ago we started small. I met a couple of cool guys that immediately were hooked on riding. I had a 84 200X, 78 and 83 Honda 110 ATC's that I hopped up. I took my friend to NE Wisconsin to go fishing and camping and we threw the 3 ATC's on top of the boat. When I took them out they said to me "Fuck fishing! We want to do this". I sell all the ATC's and pick up a blaster. Another friend blows it up. I dropped around 7K on it and it screamed pretty good and I could still lead the pack with another modded blaster, timberwolf and my Kodiak 400 that one friend borrowed. So the kodiak and the timberwolf rider upgraded to some yfz450's and the blaster turned into DS650. My little blaster still could out run them on the tight trails. But as soon the road opened up, forget about it. It topped out at 60. Then I soon realized that I need something bigger and faster. I started searching for a banshee. I had always wanted one but never perused it. I found an 87 a hour away for $1000. I thought "Great" I'll pick this up and fix some problems and get out on the next trip. Wrong! After it came home and I started picking at it. The list grew and grew and grew. So after 1 1/2 years and over 9K on it now it finally leads the pack again! We had 10 riders this last trip. 3 Raptor 660's and 1 350(girl rider). 2 yfz450's, arctic cat 650 tank. and a crappy polaris 400. The raptors topped out and I shifted to 6th. It was awesome. My bike topped out at 75 on pavement and I got up to 73 on hard dirt. 66 in soft sand. I know some of you think thats still slow. But its fast enough for me. I don't want more power. I go through 3 times as much fuel then the other quads. So thanks to this site for the great input and parts that I recieve I now have a machine that no one can catch, for now that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbowrenchhead Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I added up the list of parts last year and I came up to 8K with the cost of the bike. I've spent more on it this year with another top end build, rear shock rebuild and some other parts that failed on me. The shit adds up fast!

I'm not being an ass and I believe you certainly can easily spend 9K on these fucking bikes. Just curious what the 9k got ya. Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
