is it worth it to get one

 

[Z400Central]

Depends on what type of riding, for flat out hauling and dune riding yes, for maybe trails and stuff...no...

 

[dabombdale]

ya, banshees don't have the handleing or low end for things like mx or trails, the z has all this and reverse, and still will go fats, if you ride dunes go for the banshee.

thanx,
dale

I would have to say no. 2-smokes are cheaper to build yet the banshee cost $100?? (MSRP) For its age and price i wouldn't get a new one, just get an old cuz their all the same exccept for aftermarket parts. Also, if u have to go new get one of the new 2003's with the flames, they look pretty bad ass.

yes the banshee l.e. looks sweet

 

[Z400 rider]

if you want a big quad from yamaha, get a raptor, i am not very fond of banshees

[OG350]

Its either the z or the shee now and im going to go see the z tomarrow

 

[KawaKiller]

dude, Im in the same boat as u. Im eather gunna get a shee or a z I just cant deside

 

[Z400]

GO WITH THE Z...lol...the banshee needs big areas to ride on...its got lots of power, and good for racing...while the Z is a really nice trail machine, and much quieter then the banshee, which is nice when trail riding...

 

[dabombdale]

ya, banshee is more of a duner than anything else.

 

[OG350]

man i cant decide

 

[dabombdale]

i already decided and am getting the Z, but all the bashing that was going around make me a bit tedious, but my mind is mad up, suzuki did a lot os studying.

 

[Z400 rider]

get the Z, with the moey you are saving, you can get a Z faster than a bashee, still have better handling, have reverse, and still have the ease of maintenance of a 4 stroke!

[Zero Z400]

Yeah but with the money u put in a Z the shee would go faster. I actually think banshee's r horrible for racing cuz other people have to much money and their will always be a faster one.

thats a pretty good point. i just saw some magazine had a 3 cylindar banshee. i know that imagination would have a lot to do with these projects, but the money sure does help!

 

[Zero Z400]

Those 3 cylinder ones r sweet!! Imagine putting the 3rd cylind on the shees they had in dirtwheel that were pulling 105hp!! It would be the fasest thing ever!

[aproy]

it would be just ridiculous, but i like to turn when i ride. how could you possibly turn that thing. theres no way a 105hp quad would be able to turn a corner. haha

 

[Zero Z400]

Sure it could!! Just use the power to slide it out! I think i would need some +10 a-arms and a +12 axles and a +10 swingarm, then i would be more confident, or maybe make it for TT events.

[OG350]

i would just use it for drag racing

 

[dabombdale]

take it on a motocross track with the little suspensious, it will get the hole shot but not make the firs turn lol
