jaysea1 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 For you guys that have both or experienced both, which bike is the better duner? I plan on adding another bike(not getting rid of the banshee)My banshee currently has full suspension(arms shocks...etc)T-5's, reeds,and geared lower, plan on building up the motor next. I only ride at the dunes, and am thinking if that 7000$ ('06 yfz)price tag is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8buck Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) I've riden both MANY times and there is absolutly positivly no question the Banshee in the better duner, but, that is about the only place it is better, A LOT better. >I M O< [Edit] Haven't actually been on the 06, just an 03 and an 05 YFZ.

BigRed350x Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 The Banshee. I've had both and like the Banshee much more for the dunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namshee Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I've riden both MANY times and there is absolutly positivly no question the Banshee in the better duner, but, that is about the only place it is better, A LOT better. >I M O< [ WORD if you have sorted the suspension and such you will never get hold of a better duner.... the thing with banshee is - its a cult thing. no matter how good the or how how good the fuel efficiency is of the 450, a shee rips best and THAT RIP when the band kicks in, can not be replaced by any other motor - just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamuel Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I so agree with that. THere is nothing like that arm braking snap of the powerband. Banshee all the way for the sand. Thats all she will ever see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justintoxicated Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Banshee is best for dunes, However you already have one so why not get a 450 if your going to get a second bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take that 7G and turn your Banshee into a monster That's just me though, being a member of the Banshee-lover's cult!

locogato11283 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 450...my banshee is worthless for doing any speed under 70mph or at less than 6,000 rpm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 the banshee is the best duner. hands down... only way a 450 is better is if you already have a banshee to really rip it up... 450 is not bad thou they make good duner.. but nothing compared to a banshee...
