Stock vs Stock, he will be beat you off the line and till the end of the race. Once you start modding you will have a better chance.

ridinfast03 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Me and my buddy have the same scenario, both bought stock 06's on the same day from the same dealer. I ride the 450 and have him out of the hole and to the end. He might have a chance if we had a place to get pinned out for more than a few seconds due to the 6th gear being a little higher than my 5th but I doubt it. We usually drag for 1500 to 2000 ft and I have no problem serving him a dirt sandwich. But nonetheless the banshee is wicked as hell to control for that long and fast for that long. Both are amazing quads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcardracing Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 His will get you from start to finish for now. But, putting your quad into the 80hp range will cost you less than half what it will cost him to get the same results Once you both start doing mods, your banshee mod for mod will start making more power than his yfz. Just a simple mod like pipes will put you ahead of him after the hole-shot, which he will still have the advantage....for now. A lot will depend on rider skill as well, race him and see. -slo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollinRhino Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 My Banshee has a stock motor on it and a buddy I ride with has an '07 stock YFZ and I have never taken him in any scenario be it MX, trails, or just drag racing. I think with pipes, carbs, and some cleaning up on the cylinder I could take him in a drag race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 IMO, with equal skill riders on a flat drag, bolt on mod for bolt on mod, the YFZ will win in a drag race. With a few bolts ons, the banshee can reel him in and pass him on top...but that's after a ways when the YFZ is topped out. Once you dip into porting, the banshee really shines....and the comparisons for drag racing end there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeRider87 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I raced my banshee with my friends suzuki 450. Hes got a full yosi exhaust and hes got me all the way till he tops out but i got taller tires so i get him top end if we have enough room :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryda85 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 i say you both line up to race, pull out your pda, log on to bansheehq, then hit the search button....this topic has been discussed a crap load of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis6767 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 it doesnt take much to beat yfz450 , raptor 660 and 700, the only thing that ran with me was a polaris predator, that was faster than i thought it would be, try and race him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
