Yamaha banshee is it worth it?

[NOVIS]

Banshees are pretty good trail quads. If you get one thats just piped and jetted its still pretty good on the trail because its narrow. I only took mine riding like 2x on the trails but it did a great job.

Hill climbs are no problem and The ground clearance was better than my yfz.

Id say its better for trails than the blaster, its alot more comfortable thats for sure. It has a wayyyyy better rear shock on it than a blaster.

I think you should get it. If you do get it make sure your carbs are sync'd and make sure it starts first or 2 kick. Oh and get a 1inch extended throttle lever. It makes it wayyy easier to push the throttle.

i agree, my banshee is the most comfortable quad ive ever sat on. its low and the bars are high and the seat is really soft. and the rear shock is soft but only really good for the small bumps.

you must not ride a lot of quad.
the rear shock isn't all that good.
the seat really isn't that soft.
the bars are really not that high.

try riding a scrambler 500.
it actually has a soft seat, a good rear suspension for trails.

i know my banshee has some suspension work down, still dont have a rear shock for it, and it really sucks still. i mean you can tell a huge difference between the one with a grand in front suspension and my stock one.
