They're tanks!

a poor-laris 2 stroke quad has reverse feature also . your lt weighs only about a hundred pounds less than some of those models and they have about 4 times the hP

370, go out on dry pavement with the shee, hold the front brake and let the tires light up, then by shifting youyr weight, get the quad to spin around in cirlces without the front tire moving....
I did that a few times, I get really dizzy really fast and it looks like a crtoch rocket did a burnout infront of my house lol....

well I wouldnt consider any 4poke a sport quad so I guess its ok for them to have reverse lol

Heck yeah I love sleds, the Skidoo MXZ renegade 800H.O. only weighs 489LBS! And if you piped and ported that thing I bet it could get close to 180-190HP

I think they stopped making the banshee for money reasons. Yamaha had allot of success the last few years with the craptor and the 450. They didnt have near the same amount of profits off the banshee. A new banshee is like 6k, and they are so common you can get a nice used one for like 3k. So they decided to cut the shee. They also loose out on parts too. Banshee breaks are allot cheeper than a 4-poke break. So it isnt as good for them to make the shee as it is to make the 450. That does suck, I'd love some knew 2-strokes, and some new trikes. Screw the government, and screw the corperations. Some one needs to go pull their heads out of their ass, so they can see what the world needs is a new generation of 2-strokes.

Polaris never made a 2-stroke sport quad if you ask me. And 4 times the HP? If I remember correctly, LTs have HP numbers in the low 20s. That would mean the Polaris puts out over 80HP?!

[tecateboy]

if im reading correctly eviltwin is talking about the snowmobiles which the majority of them get over 80hp easy.

i think he was saying teh LT had 4 times the HP of teh polaris 2 stroke quads... i worked on and test rode a 400cc ploaris 2 stroke.. alli could do was laugh.....
