Yea most magazine articles are written by pussies nowadays. They all bitch and moan if something doesnt have electric start or pussy features. My friend has a YFZ and what happens when his battery dies which happens very easily??? you have to push start it and to me tahts harder then kick starting it. And if you had a bad battery on that pos KFX700 youd be screwed because its automatic.

 

I dont see how they say the banshee isnt comfortable. Besides the YFZ its the lowest sitting quad out there and it still has a good amount of padding on the seat!!!! Every new pos ive ridden has an extremely stiff seat. Bottom line is magazines suck.

I somewhat agree that the banshee shouldnt be in last place but it shouldnt be in first either, getting to be pretty old technology if the suspension would have been updated it might be a different story.

I would rank it like this

1. raptor for all around performance

2. 450 or (banshee with mods!!!!!)

3. 450r

4. ds

5. kfx700

6. banshee stock

7. predator pieace of shit im my opinion.

Ill tell ya exactly what it is. The magazines are too buisy sucking the apa's dick. They want to look like they are feeling the same way the apa is and wanting to fase 2 strokes out. any dumb ass who has ridden a banshee and then a raptor knows what a difference there is. You have to bring a game boy with you on a raptor cause you will get bored waiting for the stupid thing to speed up... They suck. and not just them but most of the other quads that they tested couldnt hold a candle to the fun factor that a banshee posses

I dont care even if its not modern its still better stock then all the other quads, except maybe the YFZ450 and the 450R. The raptors are neither as powerful and i personnally dont think the even handle that great, and they are top heavy and not comfortable to sit on. the predator is poorly engineered, and the ds and kfx700 are heavy pieces of shit.

 

THis would be my Sand shreddder rating

 

1 YFZ450

2 Banshee

3 450R

4 Predator

5 Raptor

6 DS650

7 V-force 700

 

I'd rate the Banshee 1 but ive ridden a stock one before and they dont have near as much power as teh YFZ. I'd have to say i like mine better for sand though then the YFZ.

Banshee is the king of the dunes, if your ever in oregon and need more grit in your diet and ride a 450 700 or whatever hope to see you at the dunes. This is a banshee site right? banghead

:o I was just reading what that magazine said about the banshee sucking in the sand. Look at the picture real careful....If someone put that new plastic on me ..i'd run like crap. My shee is a thrill in the sand. There are some great riders and knowledgeable people here on the HQ that could take the SHEE and run it through the test in the sand aginst these other so called Dune Kings and spank them in all terrain. I think its just another reason for the media to rid the banshee from the thoughts of peoples minds. They want us all to start living the so called 4 stroke age. I respect the YFZ450's power, but It feels like your halfway over the bars, ...my banshee sits stable and your not all over your arms. This plastic they come out with really takes the cake. In my area,...running a plastic like that gets you beat up. I know...some people like it, but thats them. No matter what they say or do on these tests....Banshee are not for beginners and the power can either thrill you or kill you. No quad out there has the shear rip like the finely tuned shee. :headbang:

i found out how the 450r got 2nd. they used all the money they made from making the power rangers edition 450r to pay off ATV rider. This thing will take a full blown cheetah banshee anyday. And even if it doesnt, it will ram that big horn up your ass.  :rotflmao:
