These videos are better than the typical SXS content in my mind. I catch myself watching this stuff more often than I clicked on the SXS stuff. So definitely safe to throw a large amount of this in with the normal content!

[@daltonvires3760]

Would love to see a series where each of the guys revive a machine from your childhood or do a series based on budget quad builds. What do you guys think about this?

[@pauliewalnuts240]

Said this last video, 90s cheap quad challenge. $1000 or whatever budget. Cheap anything challenge is fun. Quads are relatable to the most people and certainly the most memorable.

[@kyleperry709]

Boy that would bring back memories for a lot of viewers.

[@Savage_D_508]

Definitely

[@usa3105]

@@pauliewalnuts240 I feel more people have / had dirtbikes more lol

[@Jake_Hamlin]

Cheap 85cc challenge would be. Cool

[@drogers9275]

Dougie fresh is just wholesome man the vibes on this channel is unmatched loving the banshee content

[@edh7492]

Totally agree, the vibes are what makes the channel so good.

[@Romaniac1988]

I wiah I could watch this over as if I had never seen it before. Miss this kind of content where yall show us the technical work

[@jeffcombs8237]

Great content. Without atv's we may have never had a SxSblog channel.

[@dougbutterfield5505]

That is most likely true

[@Jizden_Mipanz]

You're not wrong!

[@cookinginthedark6768]

What the hell is Doug hiding in his various garages?

[@dougbutterfield5505]

There’s a few more cool things we could revive

[@kylecube15]

@Doug Butterfield what about the blue ford truck :) I would love to see a tour of things to revive and then have a poll lol

[@chriscanterbury8647]

The new race snow mobile 🤔

[@redneckmudder3331]

I started watching sxs because of the blue dentside lol

[@ninjaphlap]

A carcain problem

[@DawsonPerron]

I want to see Doug’s Yxz back so bad even if you gotta frame swap it! Would be cool to keep that think kicking around!

[@DUNEATV]

🙏

[@dougbutterfield5505]

We have some ideas, just lots of projects to get through

[@gregc9220]

I think he should buy a fresh new 2023 YXZ for a trail rig, show people just how reliable and run a YXZ is, so much hate on the yxz because it's a manual, my 2018 now has over 7000 miles of hard trail,dunes and desert running and haven't fixed a single thing on it yet other than oil changes.

[@DUNEATV]

@@dougbutterfield5505 Yamaha baby!!!

[@zachaliles]

This is the content I've been waiting for! Hits close to home seeing how I have an 87 banshee on my back porch right now just waiting for nice riding weather.

[@2aJay18]

Doug out here runnin them 99s as Sam would say😂 been waiting for this! As someone who has a tricked out banshee that’s been sitting for years in the back of my garage hiding this makes me happy. Can’t wait to see her rip!💨

[@hondarubi0812]

Man this is awesome!! Thanks for bringing this build to the BLOG. A banshee is already a icon and legend but this being Doug's original bike that kicked off his interest in powersports makes it way more authentic! I'm excited for this let's goo👍👊

[@robbo1963]

"The coolest show-and-tell i've every been a part of" Totally agree... Love it!

[@craigchase5381]

The Banshee quad was the most fun ever made . A brilliant motor and more than enough power light weight for the day and sounds great on the pipe great times

[@tomeickhorst6787]

Loved this episode. Reminded me of back in 1999 me and 2 buddy’s put a cbr600f2 engine and trans in a banshee frame. It was all us 18-19 year olds cutting and welding the frame making motor mounts breaking chains till we got it spaced and lined up right. Lots of memories

[@swampdoctor5342]

Yesss quad content

[@772tsweet77]

This is one of the best episodes in a while.

[@Speedy2222]

I got my first banshee when I was 18 as a birthday gift. Drove into downtown Chicago to pick it up from a guy off craigslist. It was a 96 and wish i never sold it. Wound up parting it out to buy an RZ350. This video really brought back some memories of the banshee days. One day i hope to have another with 96 plastics and toomey t-4 pipes like i use to have.

[@A-RSpeed]

This is exactly the content that most of us love to see!!

[@choony1970]

Thank you Doug for listening to your supporters by bringing out the most bad ass quad ever Banshee. Quadzilla what? Lol. Thanks so much for this.

[@JohnSmith-fh2th]

I still have my 3 Banshee's and I am in my 60's...Love the content.

[@WestMichiganMotorsports]

Love how much knowledge you have with motors Doug. Great story and awesome lookin banshee!

[@CobHes]

just the content sxs needed. love it i own a 97 myself! red and black

[@outdoormanBC]

Side channel of Doug destroying on the arm wrestling table? lol I felt Frank's torn tendon pain from here.. when arm wrestling friends you don't need to go for the pin. Great vid. Build montages are my favorite.

[@pexwaterpipes1152]

This makes me miss the banshee my dad and I built to drag race 300' in the mid 2000s. I remember it being so much fun running down the dirt in the low 4s. This content is knocking it out of the park , keep it up guys!

[@IISTAGII]

Doug is a legend, this man has so much knowledge. I feel like we need to hear more about what he's done to get here and where he's come from.

[@snoop8093]

Definitely brings back some good memories of drag racing bikes. I had a 86 250R three wheelers. 8 inch over swing arm. Massive motor work. Spraying a 50 shot of nitrous. Was not a whole lot that could touch it. The good old days.

[@SQUARE1SpeedChannel]

I am 100% following this rebuild 🤘 I'll watch every second to see this run that LT250

[@toddschmidt206]

LT 250 has no chance against a 4 mill alcohol Banshee.

[@SQUARE1SpeedChannel]

@Todd Schmidt yeah, nobody is arguing that. But it would be fun to see 2 old school, iconic 2-stroke quads ripping around with each other.

[@ahrentelford1391]

Keep the 2-strokes coming!!! Not just because they are the best but because, na it's because they're the best.

[@southernslangerz2254]

IM SOOOOOOO HAPPY THIS IS HAPPENING!!!! I was literally looking at it in the last video and was thinking “I hope they rebuild that thing eventually”

[@joeabbott828]

My late brother was a Banshee guy ! Thank you for bringing up the fond memories .

[@clean_lly04]

Love how you guys talk about/respect the fans who have asked about the stuff in the backgrounds in your videos means a lot, keep up the great content guys!

[@brandonbellacima66]

love this build. Hope to see more ATV builds in the future.. It's nice to see you guys not just do sxs stuff.. Keep grinding guys !!

[@brandonbellacima66]

@@feelinghealingfrequences7179 yeah I def agree with that. The sxs stuff is def getting boring with the same stuff going on all the time it’s nice to see them finally mix it up and get out of there comfort zone

[@langspeedcycle]

That RTV laying was IMPRESSIVE. Old Doug's done that once or twice

[@johntyler7151]

Loving the shake up in content. Excellent work guys.

[@HuntinBambie07]

my step dad came into my life at the age of 4 and by 5 he got me my first quad an old 250 Suzuki he had a 97 banshee that was yellow and purple i thought it was the coolest thing in the world until i was like 17 lol. so many stories to be told cant wait to watch this series crazy how an ol bike like this can bring back so many memories

[@shanewarner8854]

Fuck yea you listened I've been waiting for this video ever since the snowmobile content came out !!! You guys are the best!!!!

[@joshschonfeld3675]

I love the content and the vibes get better with every video! I'm SOOOO dang excited to see more Banshee content! I've always wanted one and there's not many things that compare to the sound of them plus the smell of a two stroke engine running high octane and Klotz oil mixed together 🙌🏼

[@StonerSteve313]

You guys should have at least a couple million subscribers with the professional footage and how me personally love watching your uploads and at least to me I think the quality and how every video you guys can make a video of doing pretty much nothing and some how make it interesting and funny. Love you guys

[@Mike-pp9ug]

Been waiting for long time for this. Can’t wait to see what Doug does with it.

[@yfzsandaddict0497]

So happy to see banshee content!

[@edh7492]

Love Banshees, excited for this build gentlemen! Really enjoy the retro stuff.

[@sinistervulcan]

I have always wanted a banshee! I had an 86' Quadracer and it was such a blast. I miss them 2 smoker quads

[@rmharder1]

Doug's passion is infectious! This is going to be awesome!! I think we all started with that one bike, sled or quad that we loved more then our high school girlfriend. Lol! I still have my 88' Warrior and wish I didn't sell my 87' 340cc Enticer.

[@khonky]

I love how banshees are making a come back. I had a 97 I sold in 2012 and spent the next 10 years riding a 700r and regretting the sale. Mother's day 2022 I bought a 01. Took her to SLSD last Sept. There was at least 10-12 other banshees that weekend. It was nice to see.

[@shanewarner8854]

Doug your banshee is badass!!! I never would have thought it ran on methanol I bet your banshee halls!

[@michaelroduner7724]

Banshee content might be my favorite 😍 that show and tell from Doug was pretty cool!

You guys might be SXS Blog, but all things powersport are cool and I appreciate it!

Not only are we in the same state but I’m currently starting another banshee build and I watch your guys videos as much as I can. Super weird now that I happen to find this right now while I’m literally doing the same.

Had a Blaster, outgrew it and wanted a Banshee so bad!! Honda 250R where the all around bad ass units! Lived at the dunes! Miss this days!

Doug has on the market cornered on “Great Dude Aye”. Great stuff! Love the mix. I’ll keep watching.

[@littlemechanicshop]

I’m so happy someone knows what the best pips are. I will make sure CPI racing pipes watch this. I do lots of work with CPI.

[@littlemechanicshop]

I bet if you had CPI build you some pipes around your engine specs port trimming, fuel,and your RPMs you want. I feel you would get a significant more power. I could be wrong but still great.

[@brandonnapier9372]

I use to comment all the time to rebuild the banshees when they were in Doug’s dads barn

The song for the time lapse sounds like it was taken from a 90’s snowmobile hype video 😂

Love the time lapse of ya'll actually wrenching .... It's not as exhilarating as ya'll shredding around... But it's satisfying to watch the progress!!! Also love the quad content!!! Takes me back to my days... Banshee, Warriors, Blashers, and 300ex!!!

[@matad311]

Keep this content coming! So gald to finally see the background banshee be on a video! Quad content is going to be good! This is more relatable to me because I’m not to owning a SXS yet but I have a quad! Everyone started on quads and dirt bikes so people are going to love this!

Been waiting to see the dust get blown off that thing for a while. I've been seeing it in the background. The race of all time... Banshee vs 250R! Is that CR500 still hanging around? I'll bet Frank will jump on that. It'll be just like Bull Gap circa 1997... The good old days.
