SubarusAreMyThing Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 you choose banshee cause it smokes? no i choose banshee because its a 2 stroke. and i prefer a 2 stroke over the 4's. and 2 strokes smoke... its just an old saying i heard a while back and liked it. Quote
dirtydownunder Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) your on a banshee forum and you ask what quad you should buy ?. if i wanted to buy a bike and not touch it, id get a yfz450. if i wanted a killer bike that i was going to play with and fukn enjoy, id buy a banshee. my banshee only smokes when its dead cold, after that no smoke at all Edited November 26, 2009 by dirtydownunder Quote

bansheesandrider Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 For riding in the sand, the ONLY bike you should even consider is a Banshee. When it comes on the pipe and starts spraying sand, there is no better feeling in the world. Besides that, you came to a Banshee site, what did you expect to get for an answer? Quote
shanYE west Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I like my YFZ450 for for just about every kind of riding over my banshee.. The power is better.. the handling is better, traction is better, its got electric start. Its just a better built bike. If someone told me I could only have one quad.. I'd pick my 450 over my banshee... Quote
sandman Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 If it's for sand then the obvious choice has to be the shee. It has the best power characteristics of any bike ever made when it comes to sand. Now if you were thinking of riding it in trails or track then I would have a diff. answer, but the shee is made for the sand, end of story. Quote

I'd pick my 450 over my banshee... i agree. id be pretty upset to not have my banshee for its purpose or going faster than fuck, but the 450 is just a hell of a lot more rider friendly and easier to handle in the tight shit.

GhostRider Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Posted November 26, 2009 Thank you guys ... i think im going to get brand new yfz, what's the different between the YFZ450 and the YFZ450R ? i heard the yfz450r ? and how about the maintaince... is it easy? And for those guys who said "your on banshee forum" I'd like to say, i know what the banshee can do and how much power it have, i owned one before and i'm in love with it, thats why i was thinking to get new one... so don't be smart on my head, cause i was looking for help from the big boys and id like to hear what they say...

Well There's a significant difference in the YFZ 450 and the YFZ450R The YFZ 450 is carbed after your long rides your thumb gets somewhat tired and sore. As for me i got used to it with my shee The YFZ 450 R is fuel injected which mean less maintenance on climate changes no tuning of carbs as well as less strain on thumb throttle, i know my neighbor has one. As well as the 450r is about 3 inches lower and longer travel suspension. Dude if you want a bike that will shine in the dunes. Get a banshee!! 4strokes are only good for trails and damn thats it i guess. LOL. The good thing about banshees is that you can set them up for whatever riding style you have. They are very versatile bikes. Also the parts for them are a whole lot cheaper and easier to mod! Tuning is easy if you know what your doing. Hope this helps!! Quote
HiRoller Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 I've ridden Raptor 700's in the dunes, still like my Banshee way better. Quote
GNR101 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Posted November 26, 2009 i find the banshee is more fun... and like half the price... so u can spend the other half on mods but the yfz450 is a better ride stock Quote
