im not trying to get into this cuz i just got my first shee in feb this year so i dont have enough experience to talk. but when my shee was just piped with the proflo kit it was fucking killing my buddies 700. and at that time my yfz450 killed them both but for just another grand neither one could touch my shee, not even close. i personally dont have any problems with any of them i like them all, so there it is.... :shrug:
p.s. i do prefer the banshee over all other bikes. but im not too bias cuz ive always rode 4 strokes.
