should I get a 450r or a Banshee? I ride in the woods, in large fields, and on my friends home track.

450r definately. the banshee is only good for going in straight lines and nuthing else. when i try tiding a banshee as fast as i ride my 450r i bottom out the front shocks on burms and use most of the travel in the rear on woops and i just get thrown around way too much. handlings not that great on them. plus in the trails thats not for a banshee at all. Now if you rode dunes i would tell you to go with the banshee i think.

I used to XC race a banshee. Trust me, buy the 450R. The banshee is a great drag/dune quad, but the 450R can still do those things well in addition to being a great woods quad.

If you dont like to get traction, and you love being wore out. get the banshee. but if you like traction and love a smooth ride that is faster than a banshee in most cases, get a R.

if you like working on things x 2 then get the banshee, the 450r owns it in EVERYTHING, besides the fact that a piped banshee with some mild porting and jetting, HAULS!

Did you post this in the TRX450R forum actually expecting anyone to suggest the Banshee? :huh

I've had both and I like the 450r better for everything except drag racing and riding gravel roads. The Banshee is a little more exciting, but handles like crap on a MX track.
