dajogejr Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I will say this...in any 4 poke vs 2stroke comparison, everyone always compares them in drag racing. Why? Because forever and a day, the banshee was the king (and in modified form still is)... You never read somone saying...I went to a GNCC track or MX track and smoked all the 450s... Is there a SMALL handful of folks that still ride shee's in those areas...sure. Just like there are still people that prefer typewriters over a computer and word processor... So...that being said, the 450s are built for track and trails, the fact they hold their own drag racing, on a strip, with your buddies in a field or down a road is just icing on the cake... I think you all know how much I love banshees and how much dedication I have to them. That being said...if I could afford it, I'd have a piped, cam'd and jetted 450 for playing on trails and as a duner bike for fun. They are just so much fun to ride, and easy to ride for a longer time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesw Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) my friend has a yfz stoke and i gt a banshee stock. of the line he smokes me but when i hit 6th the banshee catches up double time! the yfz have 5 gears while the banshee stock have 6, the yfz are honestly geared low, so by the time your shee hits 6th the yfz will be about topped out. i got both bike im telling you, the yfz run well.

Perhaps you should write the first HQ banshee handbook. :biggrin: Send it in the mail to all the new members. The first chapter would cover boost bottles! :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
