the banshee is a wicked machine. its just like all the other 2 strokes, you need to rebuild them every couple years but you can rebuild one alot cheaper than a four stroke. when i was younger, if you had a 4 stroke you were a sissy but the 4 strokes have come along long way. It would all depend on how you ride. the last newer quad i rode was a 05ish honda 450R. Ill tell ya i got on that thing with old school attitude thinkn a 4 stroke wasnt crap and that quad bout scared da crap outa me. felt lite, balanced nice, and i was told that they are supposed to run 100 mph off the show room, but you still cant beat the way a banshee takes off like a rocket and the sweet sound of the pipes. Another plus about the banshee is there are hundreds of parts out there for them and you could build one anyway you want and at a lot cheaper price than most. I think yamars have allways had the best 2 strokers.if you get it i would recomend useing ( if i can spell it rite) klots 2 stroke oil. It cost a bit but its really good oil. the down fall to it is it smells like rotten eggs.
