[QUOTE="soloXgt, post: 5741569, member: 576291"] Comparing my Raptor to a banshee....they both required different riding styles A banshee is a totally different beast than a warrior. I do a fair amount of tight woods riding and they are two totally different monsters. Raptors are SUPER easy to ride, they have nasty torque in any gear. Banshee in the other hand has nasty torque too......just in a narrower range higher in the powerband making it a little more difficult to ride in tight woods unless you know what you are doing. Im not saying that a 4 stroke is better than a 2 stroke in any way...i'v seen a banshee do shit int tight woods and hills that I couldn't do with the raptor (Hatfield-Mccoy--im sure it rings a bell since you live in Virginia). i think 2 strokes need a little more throttle and clutch finesse than 4 strokes, but with time, it becomes natural and easier. A downside to a banshee is its HORRIBLE suspension compared to its same year counterparts. No matter what year banshee, it always had a sub-par suspension. Honestly, ride that warrior to the ground or sell it and get a suzuki z400. they are cheap, easy to ride, fun as hell and TONS of info and parts available. There are a shitton of nice 4-500cc quads out there now. Also keep in mind, most motor parts for banshees are 50-80% more money than most 4 stroke sport quads cuz it haas twice as many cylinders.....just food for thought.....banshees are pretty sweet though. I assume u do a lot of woods riding, mostly tighter and not super open? And why not get a 2 stroke dirtbike?? 250 2 stroke FTW for bikes......
