banshee sucks, worst quad out there. it takes the best driver in the world to use it on the trails. powerband is so small on it. but if the trail is straight, thats a different story. the banshee used to be raced in the XC quad racing series(GNCC). it only won on tracks with long straights. the trx250r is still the best 2 stroke quad but nothing can touch the new yfz450...
banshee goes 60 mph while my 250x went 53 mph stock. quads arent fast, if you want speed, get a dirtbike. even the 700r raptor cant keep up with 125 2 stroke dirt bike in a drag race. theres a 200 lb weight difference. thats gigantic in a machine thats only 400 lbs. you can change the gearing on quads but since they are so heavy they wont be able to pull a really tall gear ratio.dont get me wrong, the shee will eat my quad alive but its only like 10 bike lengths in a 300 yard drag race.
ive never topped out a dirtbike so idk what there top speed is. im assuming its really fast
when choosing between, think of this; do you have "legal" trails that are wide enough for a quad?my little 250x barely squeezes through mine. Do you have transportation to get ur quad to the trails?when i didnt have a truck, i had to ride down the road to get to some trails, then i got a $50 fine...
Also, which is cheaper? money is the key factor when deciding, dirt bikes are usually cheaper to maintain and run assuming u dont crash
i think there is a kid from maine thats part of SF with a yzf426, hopefully he will read this thread
