banshee or lt500r

[emg]

what is better and faster a banshee or the lt500r

[zillaguy89]

here comes a huge argument....hahaha

In stock form.....theyre pretty close....as far as mods go....you have more choices and, dare I say, more bang for the buck from a banshee. I own them both, I love both of them. its kinda like comparing apples and oranges. they get the job done in 2 totally different ways, the average zilla makes its power early on in the RPM range, but an banshee is like a rubber band that you need to wind up first before its fun.....haha. 2 totally different personalities. You really can't even think the same way when switching from one to the other...either one is fast from the start and can be made WAY faster....My zill ahas a few mods, and it moves out pretty well, but compared to some out there, its just a kiddie toy...I like both of them

Knowing my 2 bikes.....and the fact that I like to get from point A to point B as fast as humanly (and monetarily unfortunately) possible, I prefer my banshee over my zilla in the dunes. in the woods and playing around, the zillas got the shee beat. In a straight up pavement drag race, my banshee will utterly destroy my quadzilla, but with different mods done to them, that could easily go the other way

personally, id take a banshee....they sound way cooler just playin...

i dont either, but one day i aim to have a banshee with a totally worked suspension and mildly worked motor....a zilla would be great too, but a banshee just gives alot more options to build with, and thats alot of why id opt for it....


id prefer to find a zilla motor and put it in my lt250r frame than attain an actual zilla personally...but if you can find a good deal on one or the other, go with it....youll be happy with whichever you choose as long as you give it some lovin

id buy a banshee before i'd buy a zilla

[370banshee]

i've owned both.. i prefer the banshee...
zillaguys zilla moves out pretty good... i was doign some updune wheelies with it opening day at silver lake....

mod for mod and $ for $ the banshee is a faster and more realiable machine IMO

LT500 Faster....maybe in some cases......LT500 less maintenance than a banshee....no way. You really have to be a drill seargeant about maintaining your 500 or you'll have the same pile of junk that gave them a bad name.
