Yea no stealing, my Banshee was stolen last year.
Sounds like the Banshee is for you if all you want is speed. There are a lot of advantages to a Banshee but there are the fair share of disadvantages that DieselTech mentioned. It's not as bad as people make it out to be in those departments (weight is only 30 lbs more than a 450). Once you ride a Banshee you will fall in love with it and it looks a lot better afterwards, after you know how fast it is. And for trail riding, I felt that I was faster and more comfortable on my Banshee than my 400ex .
