Ultimateduner Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Yeah I was reading the story in Atv Action mag about how they raced the Raptor 700 against the Yamaha 450 and they perfered the Raptor to the 450. Then I read the new Dirt wheels mag where they raced the Yamaha 450 against the Honda and they picked the Honda above the Yamaha. Just thought that was interesting. I always thought that the yzf 450 was faster than the honda and the raptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 i thought the new 450r sucked ass. just what i heard. oh well. and the raptor is quite nice because of its efi and its closer to yfz stance. i know in quad magazine they chose the banshee as the ultimate sand machine. that made me happy.

Ultimateduner Posted January 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Yeah I saw an article like that one celebrating the 20 th aniversity of the banshee. The author said that the banshee was probally the greatest quadever produced. And that nothing like it would never be seen again. I thought that was good, considering that must articles critize the banshee. Like they say that the banshee is nothing compaired to the yfz 450. Please a fuckin piped, airfiltered banshee can beat a 450 of equal mods. Like anyone races a bone stock banshee.

Ultimateduner Posted January 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Look at the dyno at the beginning and keep reading the paragraph it say if you don't mind spending the extra 1000 the honda is a little more speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helldriver Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 yeah and read the end where it says : But after several days of testing, ALL of our riders fell more comfortable and FASTER on thr Yamaha YFZ" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tithead Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 i like the yfz450 cos its low to the ground. it feels a lot more stable than the raptor and the 450r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I have to second, helldrivers correct on the article. and MSRP is only a couple hundred dollars difference. Where do you get $1000. Better read again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i think an extra 100 less if you get kick start. Also, did anyone see the BHQ members banshee in the letters section? Its the blue/neon green one with no engine in it. Congrats on making it in the mag whoever that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 ....... Like anyone races a bone stock banshee. 455291[/snapback] Hell I don't even know anyone that owns a stock shee I did read either one but I don't like the yfz 450, being 6'4" I feel like I'm on a little quad. The raptot feels top heavy but both the raptor and 450r feel like they got more room. But then again the shee felt small till I did my tall man mods so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeryder_69 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hell I don't even know anyone that owns a stock shee But then again the shee felt small till I did my tall man mods so 455484[/snapback] WORD, never see stock shees WORD, I'm 6'4" too and had to do the "TALL MAN MODS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomey Banshee Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ok, I'm 5-7 and about 210. Any fat man mods? (I think the beer thing has something to do with it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
