MotulMonsta Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Yep, I'm keeping my Banshee, A buddy of mine got the new Yamaha 450 and I took it for a spin. Stalls too easily, rough ride even after I adjusted his suspension a bit. Seat will give you ass sores. and it's very tippy, not planted at all...felt and rode like my brothers warrior..but with more power...Also a very similar ride to a 400ex. And it vibrates too much for my taste. I'm spoiled I guess. Maybe If I get a chance to ride a MX setup 450 I might not think to badly of it. I like the nice cushee seat..Banshee is a very comfortable machine to ride...My ride starts on the first kick..unless I forget to put the teatherkey in..The damn 450 has a bad battery recharge system...He actully killed his battery and couldn't get it started, I had to pull start him..made me feel good. Plus my banshee handles better at speed and feels better, tracks better, jumps better..all in all a better ride...But then again my ride is a far cry from a stock storebought ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, suspension is so friggin much of an investment. Hopefully i will be back on track again soon to get mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Yup, The shee is the way to go. I was thinking that same thing today as I was riding my "new" 94 and my oldest son was riding the 99 I gave him. Shee is the real deal.
