i loved it. As far as fun power goes i prefer it over my 400ex. It is insane. Like my shocks and handling better.

When I hopped on the 400ex, the turning seemed real stiff and it was slow...compared to the shee! You just have to adapt to the shee and there will be no problems with handling!

Nice link masta! I would hope a 2stroke with almost the same bore as a 400 4stroke would have more power... It would be scary if it didnt... but if 4strokes got more power.....:devil

I got to put some time on my friends 370 shee yesturday. That thing is awesome. Its a enitely different fast even more different than my old 310R. It was crazy I was going along and gunned it and that thing flew. I couldn't get it to hook up at all. Its funny though that since he spends all his time on the banshee, that when he took my EX for a spin he came back like this :D . He couldn't believe the low end.

A banshee will definately be my next quad.

I just think it's hard to believe that after all these years a banshee is still the thing to beat.

If i live near some Dunes i would either have a Banshee, 250E or a Really hot 400Ex. Banshee are sweet for stright lines and long open turns. For Mx i don;t prefer them much.

i rode my first banshee saturday and i was expecting to be thrown off but i was suprised i thought it would of hit harder.. it had t-5 pipes on it and stuff like that it was fast just didnt have the hit like i expected. I rode a 330r and it hit alot harder then the banshee;)

Thats funny, when I got off my EX and on the Banshee(in the pic) it felt like the Banshee wasnt even moving:D
