Default Banshee or YZF450 ?

Hey guys I need some help. I just sold my sandrail and I am going to buy a quad. I am looking at a new Banshee or YZF450.
We ride in the dunes all of the time and all my buddies ride modded Banshee's and they always loved leading me into trails at Little Sahara that my rail would barley fit.
But I could always ive them a good dusting in the drags with my rail.
I am still leaning toward a Banshee ,but I know I will have to spend an additional $1500 to $2000 to get it the way I want it.
But could I still hang with the piped Banshee's at the dunes on piped YZF450 ?
And how does the Yamaha do at the sand dunes?

With the right kind of mods banshees are king of the dunes....I hear the 450's are pretty good out there..I hear they keep up with your basic banshee set up(pipes, k&n, rejetted) pretty well....any more mods to a banshee and you'll be tearing it up..

Well I don't know how really good is the YFZ450 on dunes but I have a thing against Banshees. If you got a Banshee you have to give it weekly check ups for everything, especially right after riding it, unlike on the other quads you just do monthly check ups, I don't know about you but I don't have even an hour to spend in 1 week to check up my quad,'cause we are all busy peeps
