Polish Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 A ridin buddy has an 04 or 05? YFZ450 with pipe filter and jets. He beats a 05 trx450 with pipe, HRC cam, filter, jets. And i'm about as fast as the Honda until I get in 6th gear. But the other day the guy with the YFZ said he got beat by a stock 06 Honda! Anyone else get to ride the 06 bikes ? 499830[/snapback] havnt ridden one but if I had a choice in 450's.......i would hands down pick the trx450 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helldriver Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) unless a pipe really wakes up the YFZ, i dont see it beating a shee ,, i havent ridden a stock shee is quite some time, but a stock YFZ isnt very fast at all,,, i bought the YFZ for GNCC racing, so i dont care if it not fast in a stright line, but man, the people that say a YFZ will beat a shee are out of their minds i'll report back when i put the pipe on the YFZ Edited April 13, 2006 by helldriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitchenBanshee Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 You also got to remember where you are riding. I have a banshee (mods are below and its for sale!) and a 700. My 700 will kill the banshee on anything but sand. In sand, it's hard to say. My raptor was recently dyno'd at 51.5 HP with slicks and at sea level. All i have is a PCIII, exhaust and filter setup. That's pretty close to a banshee with pipes, filter and jetting if not more! Personally, I love the banshee. However the longer I rode it, the more problems I had. I owned it for 6 years and had to rebuild it three times in the sand. Not to mention the numerous other nickel and dime fixes! I am really good with pre-maintenance however no matter how much I did, it was never enough! Two of my friends bought brand new 660's and the only probs they had was tranny re-gearing and starter clutch. Thats pretty good for 6 years of ride time! Bottom line, the banshee will always be the king of the dunes, but your pocket book better be deep because your gonna tap into it for parts! I'm 29 now and I no longer want to work on anything in the sand. When I drive 6+ hours to get there, working on the %ucking banshee was the last thing I wanted to do! Banshee's are like an ex-girlfriend. I'll think about riding her all the time, but I'll be damned if I want the $itch back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helldriver Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) well ive had raptors, 400exs, 300exs, and lemme tell ya, when they do break, you'll be wishing it was a banshee you were fixing, might as well take out a seccond loan on your house, those fuckin motors eat up alot of money to rebuild Edited April 14, 2006 by helldriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
