mrandersontheone Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 Help me out guys. I am thinking about getting rid of the banshee and getting a YFZ. I know a few people on this site have both and was wondering which one you guys liked better. I love my banshee but want to start trying some jumps and don't feel confident with the suspension on my 02 banshee. I rode a buddies trx450r and wow the suspension feels nice. I am sure the yfz suspension is similar if not better. Anyway...let me know what you guys think. Quote

racer Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 im considering the same swap. im gettin kinda burned out, i guess. but i just cant give up that 2stroke sound or smell. premix-111 smells so fuckin good. Quote
H250RHATER Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 i wanna do it but i aint got the cash but i was also considering the z400 if doug gust is beating the 450's with a 400 than that tell's you somethin so i thought of gettin a z400 w/a blown engin and throwin the suzuki rm450 motor in it then id bet that fugger would rip Quote

KoooPSD Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 My buddy has a laegar 89' 250r frame with a yz426f motor in it. Quote
Otis Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 That's a tough call.... I don't think i could give up the banshee to get one, but wouln't mind havin both.. Quote

Cotton eyed Joe Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 them things are turds for real. 342270[/snapback] I'm thinking you're right. THere is a guy at the beginning of the street by my shop that rents out quads. He has a few Slowzuki 400's that they run up and down the street everynow and again, and they are kind of....sluggish. I'm not doubting you coudln't make it fast...just in the stock trim they aren't the quickest bike I've ever seen. Quote
MILO Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 I love my banshee but want to start trying some jumps and don't feel confident with the suspension on my 02 banshee. if that's the only reason you want to switch then upgrade your suspension. it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than getting a new 450, and you won't be givin up your screaming banshee.

bansheefreestyler Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 do you really think that doug gusts z400 is really a 400? def not. its a full blown race quad with the engine built as big as they can go with it. them things are turds for real. 342270[/snapback] dougs quad if i am correct has 449.4 cc's. another reason why he is beating everything is that he gets a new quad every 2 races or something like that. i bet if you replaced kory ellis's yfz every 2 races he'd be podium just like doug Quote
fast500#12 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 z 400 are the biggest turds i have ever riden even with pipes on them. i have seen blasters beat them. Quote
