Are you out of your mind? Do you not read well? Both the overall height and the seat height are higher on the 400EX. That's plain and simple to see. Yes, the 400EX is wider, but I still believe the Banshee to be more stable. Also, the Banshee has more suspension travel up front, which is where it really counts. The only thing the 400EX has going for it is that it's two inches wider which I still don't believe makes it more stable than the Banshee. You are entirely too easy to clown on.

You need to read the specs.. 400EX is KING!

Specs aren't everything? You just said that I need to read the specs on other quads. So, I go and read the specs and now since you were wrong, they don't mean anything? Nice try! You lose. I win.

Well since you called me out on it, here is what I found. Basically the Banshee is better everywhere except for width. I think you had better do some research before you call me out again. Looks like you're just another victim of the biased Dirtwheels editing. Yamaha Banshee seat height - 31.5" overall height - 42.5" width - 43.3" front suspension travel - 9.1" rear suspension travel - 8.7" fuel capacity - 3.2 gallons Honda 400EX seat height - 31.9" overall height - 43.7" width - 45.3" front suspension travel - 8.2" rear suspension travel - 9.1" fuel capacity - 2.6 gallons Banshee FTW!!

I will go through and pick your posts apart because my spelling, grammar and punctuation is perfect. Not only do you have many errors, the content is garbage.

ATT

Winning a decision against a fighter does not mean you are better than them. It means you convinced the judges that you should win the fight. Let's say for example that Sonnen had pulled out the decision against Silva, which we all know he was well on his way to doing. Would you say that Sonnen is a better figher than Silva? I would sure hope not. Silva is leaps and bounds above Sonnen in just about every department, except for wrestling. We would just say that Sonnen did enough to convince the judges that he won the fight. Another example would be Fedor/Werdum. Would you seriously consider Werdum better than Fedor? Hell fuck no. Fedor wins that fight 9/10 times. All I am saying is that BJ is the better fighter, plain and simple. Edgar is a tactician. He has to use tactics to win fights because he isn't really good at anything. You cannot say that Edgar is a better fighter than BJ.

I still think that BJ is leaps and bounds the better fighter than Frankie. BJ has KO power, good TDD (except against Edgar) and has a world class ground game. Edgar really has none of those things. He utilizes his speed very well and that's what is winning him fights. I really hope they set up Maynard/Edgar for the next title fight. I'd like to see Maynard get the win after pulling off a win against Kenny. I think BJ's own hype gets to him. Then he goes out there and forgets that he really is the best LW in the world and lets someone out class him. It sucks, because BJ really is above and beyond any LW out there.

I am not sure why Edgar got the title shot to begin with. Maynard has the better record and even beat Edgar. I think Maynard can beat Edgar again too. That really should be the next title fight. Toney sucks. Dana wanted to make an example out of him.

Not even close. This hill is fun because you can really open up the motors. It's a lot steeper than this video portrays.

Can you honestly say that it was a good fight? Did BJ even look like he wanted to be there? Did Frankie do much more than punch the air and move around really fast? Sure, he had a couple take downs but that's it. The guy is beyond boring. Look at his record, he is a non-finisher. 8 decisions out of 13 wins. And he is our UFC LW Champion? That's really pathetic. The guy isn't good at anything. His standup lacks everything but speed and his ground game lacks everything but a take down. His ground and pound is weak and he has no power in his punches. BJ was slow and sluggish. He looked beaten after the first round and what little attempt he did make to do something was far too late. This is the guy we call the best LW ever? That's also pathetic. Call it what you want, but I call it like I see it. I am looking at the BIG picture, not just 25 minutes of wasted time while I watched this fight.

You can't stand biased crap but you read Dirtwheels? Thank you for that little gem.

I have a surprise for all you guys. It's called a 688cc DM bitches!!!

buy my stuff.

Not even close. I recommend this... www.stellarmachineandperformance.com

Awesome man. Just keep updating this thread with pictures and info. People will definitely want to see where this goes.

I'm saying the Banshee does all of those things better than the 400EX. Have you ever ridden a 400EX? They are short, tall and narrow. In stock form they handle like shit. The Banshee in stock form handles better than a 400EX. The Banshee is also faster. Stock for stock there is no comparison. Comparable riders will be able to make a Banshee go faster than a 400EX any day of the week. I am all for machines that will out handle or out perform a Banshee, but a 400EX isn't doing it. It needs suspension and motor upgrades just to be able to keep up with a stock Banshee. Now the new 450 class has some awesome machines that will blow the Banshee away in the performance department as long as all things remain stock. You're just another victim to the propaganda of Dirtwheels magazine. They have done their job into tricking you into thinking the 400EX is superior to the Banshee.

2nd gear starts. 19/42 gearing. On this hill I was shifting off that first jump into 3rd.

Because Dirtwheels is a biased garbage magazine. All of the big ATV manufacturers line Dirtwheels pockets and that's why you will never see a straight up answer in Dirtwheels. They beat around the real deal because they have to appease everyone.

Do the ATV world a favor and CANCEL your subscription to Dirtwheels.

I run a 19 tooth in the front and don't notice any power loss. Then again, I have a lot of power. I think you would benefit from going to a 20" tire and getting some of your gear back. Otherwise, go with the really small rear or the 19 up front. What motor are you running?

I think Frankie sucks and so does BJ. They both looked terrible.

A few things.. 1. Michigan sucks. 2. I am not night riding. That's drinking time. 3. I plan on airing out my new +14 Stellar swingarm because Tim says I shouldn't.

I had the overall fast time of all bikes and ATV's until the second round. Even then, I think there was only one or two bikes that beat my 4.2. Bike has more in it. Just need to get the gearing figured out a little more. Every hill is different.

Nice work Jeff! Looks like they keep getting better.
