Well, I have been saving to get Yamaha Banshee for about 3 months now..and are ready to buy. I am so excited..all three of my friends are getting them too..and all at the same time ..but there financing theres...Thinkin of waiting til June 4th..to see what the new colors are.
Anyhow..do any of you own some?
Post some pics of them!

Here is the color I wanted:

 

Forget the banshee... Get a Raptor... 660cc of mean screamin power...

 

Lets see quads with road wheels!

 

i have a 2002 400ex. 4 stroke i like my 96 banshee better

I mean its a 4 stroke motor..and you can never get the potential out of that motor ..that you could with a Banshee 2 stroke 350 twin. Plus ..imo..the raptor have a neutral look just like all the other quads out there...and the Banshee will always have the signature look Yamaha has given it.
Talking to a few people...Just by putting some Toomey's or pipes in general on a Banshee...the raptor has nothing on it. Hearing from several people..that the raptor in the long run full throttle would start to creep on a banshee. All though for you riders out there..you'll know that going 6 gear full throttle aint happening on a Banshee...at least I have never attempted it.
All in all the Banshee is a better bike imo..all though its design is old..No need to fix something if it aint broke
Plus you gotta love the sound the Banshee distributes

 

nice 400ex!

 

here's my cousins in cali....i don't know any specs on it, but it was pretty tight

 

yah..those quads are really great on handling..thats honda for ya

 

anymore?

 

wont the two strokes be outlawed soon? i thought that some hippy tree hugger law about that was going to go into effect.....

 

then have been saying that for years.

 

i want to see some pix too, im thinkin about gettin one also,

 

I would post a pic of mine but dont have any access to do that now. I have a Kawasaki KXF250 Tecate 4. It was supposed to be the fastest 2 sroke quad made other than the Banshee. Kawasaki only made it for 2 years 1987-1988. I recently got it all together and took it out and I must admit that it rips. I have riden one of my good friends Raptor with a pipe, K&N, and a bigger rear sprocket and his hauls *** but mine is as fast if not faster than his 660cc and I only have a 2 stroke 250cc. In my opinion 2 strokes rock. I wanted a Banshee and still do they are cool quads because if you wanted to you could build the whole quad without using 1 stock part if you wanted to. There is just a ton of aftermarket backing for those things.
