I dunno man. You want to trade your banshee for something that is even more expensive to modify? You say you dont want to spend money on go fast bits for the banshee, but you want to trade for something that costs an arm and a leg more to maintain, and buy parts for.
I dunno man. If I were you, Id keep me banshee and save up for my MX bike, but there are quite a few times you will prefer the banshee to the 4 stroke.
I ride a banshee in the woods often. I ride one up at 10000 feet up craggy rocky terrain. Its piped with toomeys and it is boggy, you just gotta ride it a certain way and you can keep it up in its powerband.
And once I hit a dirt road that opens up a bit that thing is a slingshot. It just GOES. No 4 stroke short of a crazy modded one could keep up with me rallying down a dirt/gravel road in that thing. It just HAULS ASS.
And I think quite a bit to those things is in your tires. If you have MX tires, youll have great dirt traction, but you may not have the best traction on a trail or in gravel. If you get a good overall trail tire, youd be amazed at what it will do for you.
I dunno. Me and a banshee get along. I like the way they ride. I know there are better trail quads, but nothing sounds and feels like one.
Im torn between one and a 250r. Im not sure if Id trade a shee for a 250r tho if I already had a shee.
But I dont mx either. So I have mixed feelings about it.
It would be cool if you could just have em both.
