i have a 2001 banshee ported and all that good stuff,62 rwhp, +2+1 a arms all chrome works dual rate shocks , +4 axle, +4 swing arm, custom paint. this bike is great on the hill and at the sand drags, but the power is not really usable in the dunes, i have more fun riding my girlfriends raptor in the dunes, i can jump, loft the front wheels and all that fun stuff, plus i like the 4 stroke grunt, itend to dune a lot more than shoot the hill now. If i were to buy a yfz 450 i am planning on getting the high compression piston and the cam with exhaust of course. let me know what you think, keep the shee or out with the old and in with the new?

thanks in advance

 

if your not happy with the banshee, i'd sell it for a YFZ, if you liked jumping the raptor, you haven't jumped a YFZ yet, it's incredible.

 

my personal opinion is keep the shee especially if u like or have gotten use to the 2 strok pop

 

Do whatever you want...Sounds like a nice shee' though

 

if you had fun on a raptor, you'll have a BLAST of a YFZ..

it has a 2-stroke like accelaration, but probably nothing like your banshee lol...it sounds crazy

 

that banshee seems like your pride and joy

i owuld say keep the banshee cuz of all the work oyu got done to it and wqill never get your moneys worth and will take a bit hit. Also buy a new yzf or a used yzf and leave it stock for a few motnhs then work it up like then banshee and then see which one oyu like and if you want you can sell the other one or keep it, but that's jmo

 

i agree. you will never get your money back out of it. not even close. i recently got rid of my 2001 banshee and it was very tough. i had to go rock bottom on the price and just about give it away. atleast that's how it is around here - no body wants them anymore. in a way, i wish i would have kept it but i dont need 3 bikes right now.

 

ill take ur shee off ur hands!!!

 

yeah i doubt ull ever come across a yfz that will beat you, 64rw and its not good enough in dunes?!!??!
two jokes are best in dunes man everyone will tell you that, i dont understand how you feel the power is not usable?
