banshee or ZILLA?

[88lt500r]

My buddy has a banshee and I own a zilla, and I love em both. I agree, easier to find parts for the banshee (at a good price). But there is no feeling better than showing up on a zilla and having the banshee guys stare at it and then either givin em one hell of a race or given em a good look at my ass lol.

want a reliable bike get a 250r cheaper to build than banshee but if u like to drag get the banshee

banshee is like the honda civic of quads (but the shee is actually fast), they don't cost a shit load to buy a used one, and you can customize it to how ever you like it. the zilla is rare and already fast.
with a 2-stroke you are not going to get the best of reliability. man things is how hard you ride your quad and if you do any preventive maintanice each time you ride. another thing is make sure your quad is built right and tuned right.
as far as trails, the zilla is a tank as already stated, the banshee is kinda long. if you know how to ride your quad and somewhat know the trails almost any quad can be ridden in the trail.

just be smart about which quad you buy. don't take someone else word on which quad is better. people are bias. research each quad then go test ride them. know about the quad before you buy it/ride it. buy the quad that best fits you.

either way, you will not be disappointed with the power and badassness of a zilla or shee

I took my zilla out yesterday for the first time since i bought it...We were in the sand pit then jumped on the trails for a while, some rocky trails, some wide open logging roads, i was really surprised at how well the zilla did in the trails considering it's size...I was surprised at how nimble it felt for its size, i am 6' and 230lbs so maybe that had some thing to do with it....Only thing i did notice was that my thumb got a lot more pump than when I'm on my 250R.....The width of the quad was no concern, because my 250r is wider by 3"+ than the zilla....I have owned banshee's before and i have nothing bad to say about them either, i always had decent luck with them.....
Alot of it comes down to the rider with taking quads through the trails or whatever,banshee did feel a lil bit more top heavy so to speak but you just have to lean a lil more in the corners thats all.No complaints with either from me.
On a side note you should have seen the look on the faces of the guys at the pits yesterday when i came rumbling in on the zilla throwing roost for like 30ft lol.......Priceless........

lol nice I have always wanted a zilla but never really had the $$$ to find one in decent shape. I'm thinkin after I get done with the half a zilla its gonna be time to build up a real zilla. Good to hear that you like it man!!!! Keep throwing that roost out there haha

The Banshee is more like the Supra love or hate the look and decent performance with potential through the roof. Sorry man I just hate Civic's and it's a Honda anyways.

Get a Banshee.

I meant that there is so much shit you can do to a banshee. but it is more like a supra, no low end power, ever fast, looks different, and sounds nice.
