You poor Wisconsin guys have to put up with those boring snowmobile trails all the time. Those aren't fun. You might as well drive your quad down the road or drive your sports cars down the airport landing strip. Same thing to me. Give me a trail that is 50 inches wide and I'm happy. Anybody can point and shoot.

I wouldn't say its a good sound but its definitely unique. I hate the way the kick starter jingles all the time. That would drive me nuts. They're fast, but they wouldn't be my first choice for trail riding. If I had one, it would be a drag and dune quad. And since I don't do either of those, I don't have one.

Just my 2 cents.

Jess,

All you have to do is change the ball and spring in the kickstarter assembly and the noise will go away. I use to keep about 10 in stock at all times.....LOL

I too was a Banshee boy for a long time. Sold my original 1988 (sorry C27, blue is faster than red) right after I bought the Cannondale. I must have owned a dozen of them at one time or another.

I know how it is. We have fire roads around here too. We just don't ride them. We road abandoned rail road track for a long time too. Same thing. I just don't think its very fun...or challenging.

Well in that case you two wouldnt like a Banshee.They suck bad in tight trails.Not having fun on a railroadgrade I understand but on twisty firelanes if you cant have fun there is something wrong with your throttle hand

Lots of people do what you're talking about on trails that are tight. That is a challenge and is way more fun in my opinion. Nothing wrong with my throttle hand...except that it gets bored staying in one position. Back to the topic. Nice banshee!

I have fun in tight stuff also.Just not same and not what a Banshee is made for.Also Jesshammer you sure have a attitude.
