99nhbanshee

B370, It was nice to meet you also, you have a sweet ass Banshee!!!! No problem banchetta, Im glad you liked it. It is different than the Banshee, but Im still very happy with it so far, and Im getting more confident with it everytime I ride it. Maybe by the next time I get up there, I wont be shy of the big hills that I didnt hesitate to hit with my Banshee!!!!!! Hell, I cant let you have all the fun

Im coming, Im coming!!!!!!! Hey, Banchetta, its been along summer, and I have been soooooo busy at work, I cant waite to get there again!!! My Banshee is still down, but my YFZ is ready to rip it up!!! See ya in a few hours

The Baja races dont mean crap!!! I garrantee you that not one, NOT ONE machine running in that race is all stock!!!!! Also, the banshee has won more Baja titles, than all other quads combined. Big deal, the 400 has won one or two. Hondas aint all that, and I own both a 400ex and a banshee, and just 3 weeks ago, a YFZ450. I know what Im talking about when it comes to the 400, and they aint all that!!!! They have there share of problems too!!

I see what your saying, but Yamaha REALLY did step it up on this bike!!! They did their countless hours of R&D on the YFZ450. Im not just stating opinion here either, I have a YFZ450 as of last Wensday, and Ive studied this thing inside and out, and its a sweet ass ride. Every little detail has been thought of, its the NEW YAMAHA!!!! And, for those of you asking "why doesnt Yamaha change the Banshee". The answer is VERY easy, the YFZ450 is the Banshee replacement. Why change it now, just to turn around and stop producing it??? They arent going to throw R&D money out the window on a machine they arent going to be making anymore, 2006 (or sooner) WILL BE THE LAST YEAR FOR THE BANSHEE, like it or not, its true!!!! The YFZ450 has been in development for 5 years, dont you think they have worked the bugs out of it in 5 years??? Well, so far, all I can say is YES. Ive put 4 tanks of fuel through her, and ZERO problems (other than some minor jetting adjustments). There is no hype on this bike, everything you have read about it is true. It has sick power, crazy handling, light, excelent brakes, one finger clutch, full power shifting, and so on! This machine is the new standard that the others will need to build thier machines to if they want to stay competitive!!!!!!
