im looking into tradeing my sled for a 2000 yamaha banshee, can people help me out on opinions about banshees, idk if they are good quads or not, are the fast, reliable? anything can help me decide at this point, would they make a good trail quad or track quad?   i herd that top end was good but bottom end sucks for speed wise, but then i also herd they are really fast so idk

its a two stroke, thats why there isnt much bottom end.. They are really fast and would probably make an okay race quad..

they have been around for a long time, solid machine. parts readily available and wont send you to the cleaner : )

depending on how good it runs, you may fowl plugs like mad, and buying 2 plugs at a time could become expensive...but they are fast...

ok thanks so far everyone!! now i have another question... which would be a better quad a sick*** built z400 all race ready or that 2000 stock banshee, the other thing is tho if i want the banshee i just hafta trade strate up for my sled and if i want the race ready z400 i hafta sell the sled and save up more money, lol so idk more info would be good i gess

banshees blow up and when they are about to people sell them and they are harder and more costly to rebuils they are sick fast way cool but if you cant rebuild it your self ide pass gabe

well i dont know about all the bad talk about banshee's i have had one around for almost 8 years and never rebuilt the motor and only put one set of plugs a year in it i guess its all in how you run it , they are excellent machine very strong and dependable and tons of low and top end power they dont build tire shredding power like that anymore sorry folks the banshee is bad ass
