96 sandshee Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Info given on cylinder is wrong. On 500 you want 87 cylinder because of the big RM style intake and reed cage. But no matter what cylinder a 500 has the banshee always makes more HP per dollar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rollins Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I dont know about you all; But I waited 13 long years while in the Corps to finally own the best ATV on the planet. The Banshee. I told my wife every tax season that I was going to get a Banshee but something always came up. Patiently I waited and last year I traided my only other love my Yamaha waveraider jet ski to finally get a Banshee. Still undaunted by the prospect of never owning a brand new Banshee because they quit selling them new after 2006 i started searching for a brand new one three weeks ago. It took me a whole week 4 hours per day and I finally found one in Chyenne Wyoming with only 4.99% financing and still in the crate. I am staring at both of my Banshees right now. The (barney purple and yellow 1995 model and the brand new 2006 50th aniversary model (yellow and Black one). They will have to shoot my crazy US Marine Corps ass to pry thes babys out of my grasp. i think all sellers of Banshees are friggin crazy. Id never do it not in a million years. The thrill of the stock smoothness of an unaltered un broken in Banshee in un comparable. When shee is finally broken in for this season Ill hop it up with some pipes, a good set of Dessert lights, 200watt stator, K&N filter and maybe a nice couple of American safety flags and a 6 pack rack for the ass end. For me thats all I need in life after a war zone and life of hardships in the Marine Corps. I hope you can all see the beauty in this wonderful Banshee for the masters whom designed them. (A timeless classic to still be reconed with) The shee will run the roost in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2K1Banshee350 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 i owned my quadzilla 4 years and the flywheel snapped and the coil went out (1st year i had it). Now admittidley i dont ride it much, but for a 20 yr old machine its holdin up fine for me. it starts very easy and has torque like an big 4 stroke. i only rode bolt on banshees, but i think this would take them all (it has a PT pipe). i also think the suspension might even be better. sorry but i love them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee rips Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 i would have said do it for sure, but after reading this thread im not so sure. cant go wrong witha banshee though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STINKYDELUXE Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 all i would say is take that $900 buy a cub and spank that unreliable piece of shit. yeah i rode my brother-in-laws 535 once its fast my 521 banshee kicks its ass all over and mine is still running at the end of the weekend. if i got hit in the head and wanted one i would put the motor in something else they aren't comfortable at all.

2K1Banshee350 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 thats ur opinion. people that have banshees especially are very "loyal" but im here to tell u that as far as stock and minor mods, the lt500 is faster. it also seems to have better suspension and the banshee will never have the low end torque this does or even that a 300ex has for that matter. also people trying to give out info should know a smidge what they're talking about before they say anything. the quadzilla had a 6 stud head in 87 and the 88-90 had the 7 stud. if you take care of it, its reliable.

jmd0346 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Spend that 1k on the shee and it will rip that Zilla a new one. I had a buddy with one with a built/ported motor and my bike would kill that thing. With less mods than I have now. They are not good bikes.

2K1Banshee350 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 talk to dr q about that. all you ppl are basing whether its crap or not is "which is faster". that isnt everything. try lugging the banshee in 3rd gear going about 5mph (without clutch). you'll be kicking it back over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
