Anybody around from the east coast Canada? I do alot of riding in Nova Scotia and i have yet to run into any 2 stroke 4 wheelers.... i read alot of your guys posts and most of them are quad related, its taking me a while to get up to speed. i run a 2001 kx 250 and the only other 2 stroke i ran into this summer was an old old kdx 175. who is also running bikes in hear?

Hey, I run a banshee and my gf runs a blaster but we live in NY however her parrents have a house and camp in cape Breton Island and we are planning on (hopefully) staying most of next summer up there and we will be bringing our quads. What part of Nova Scotia are you from???

I run bikes and I just bought a 400ex and a banshee in a 6,000$ package deal and im rather disappointed with the banshee and I have yet to blow the tires up on the 400 to ride it. I really cant believe all the hype about banshees I see here then I get one and it sucks. Its got FMF Fatty pipes, Powercore2 silencers, veforce2 reeds, UNI air filter, Ported cylinders, and a brand new wiseco top end. It puts out maybe 60 hp and the power is ok but it dosent go through the gears like my old blaster and my friend beats it with his 80 and i beat it with my 125 in a 1,000 foot drag. If anyone wants a banshee near lower western Mass email me and ill think of a price.

sorry kid but thats gotta be a rider problem well that ro your banshee is just a piece of shit!! my shees are fast and oh yeah th gettying beat by 80's and 125's. mine keep right with my buddies YZ250 and cr250. hell in the sand i might be able to beat em. if you unimpressed by a banshee but your old blaster was faster tehn maybe your only running on 1 cyl??. oh yeah a shee with pipes, porting, v force reeds, and new wiseco top end should have a bit more tahn 60hp. depending on who set it up. are you sure your jetting is right???? if you wanna sell it cheap PM me i'll take it off your hands and make it run liek a real shee does. smoking 125's in 4th gear

No kidding 370! My Zilla hasn't been beat by a banshee yet, but I know there are some HOT shees out there just waiting to eat me up. Blasters and anything 125cc's need not apply. If this guy was impressed by his Blaster and a 4-POKE 400ex, then the Banshee must be in bad need of some compression! Make sure the throttle adjustment screw isn't turned all the way in!!!

the 2 quads are already gone. I sold the banshee for 3,000$ and i gave the 400ex to my cousin. I wouldnt race anyone in the dunes because ive never ridden in dunes and there arent any dunes around here for me to waste my time on so i ride freestyle mx and fairly smooth trails. I tried riding on rough rocky trails with my bike and the only thing i accomplished was ruining a good back tire and blowing my wheel bearings out in both tires. By the way i never said i was impressed by a 400ex.

bummer... any banshee that didnt impress someone who rides a 125 must have serious problems. I was hopeing you still had it I am trying to find a fixer uper... but oh well...
