lfmer20 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 I've always owned 4-strokes until I decided to try out the banshee. Once i got it I was amazed of the difference. It's heartstopping compared to a 4 stroke (I still love the 4 stroke too), but it is so much more fun. I'd say go with what you will be riding mostly. For dunes, beaches, and wide open fields, I'd go with the banshee. It's a great quad and yes you will do maintenance on it but it is basicly really simple maintenance! If you think you feel more comfortable with a 4 stroke, then go with that, but for the riding you say you will be doing, you shouldnt need a 4WD and a 2 stroke would do fine. Like I said man, just go with what you feel more comfortable with. I personally love my banshee although there is some maintenance involved with it, but this site will help you out when you have questions. Hope this helps man! Peace...

boonman Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 I do not feel that there is more maintenance involved on a 2 stroke vs. a 4 stroke. Unless you consider mixing fuel maintenance. For sand, and the beach, and that big open grassy field, get a banshee. Take it easy for a little bit, get used to it, then hammer down. When it becomes too slow, start writing checks and mod it up to your hearts content..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfmer20 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 It's up to you man, do you want 4WD or 2WD? For muddin and woods ridin and pullin things I'd go 4WD, that's what I did before I had a banshee. For ridin in dunes and beaches I would get something with more top end like the banshee. A 4WD will more likely want to bogg down and dig in the sand. Maybe a wolverine would be what you're lookin for, it's 4WD but more sporty than the grizzly and kodiak but it's not an automatic. If you're lookin for more speed than torque go with a 2stroke. But if your new to quads you might want to start off easy first before you start rippin shit up. Anything else to offer him guys?

sickestshee Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 a shee is not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 4x4's are more utility and mudding, they will go up anything, but slow. For dunes Get a banshee or the new yfz450. the shee is WAY cheaper and has arm ripping acceleration, I have not had a chance to ride a 450 yet, but im not convinced its better than a shee yet (they did not even give it a cool name jsut YFZ 450 ) , stock vs stock it will be faster, but stock shee pipes are so restrictive, and for the extra 1500 the 450 costs you could easily mod the shee to go faster than a 450. other than the 450 there is no other 4 stroke I would really consider for dune riding, unless you don't have enough $$ or just want a cruizer.

2004LEBanshee Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Dont get a shee! I am sick of people getting more mods then me and going faster. J/k cant go wrong with shee but muddin is fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
