Default To buy the Banshee or the yzf450..NEED HELP?¿

How do they compare in all stats? Top speed? handleing? and riding day in and day out? I ride mostly trails, on the ice,and some jumping. If someone could basicly brake down the pros and cons of both, it would be helpful, IM buying a new one win the next week or so....THANMKS GUYS

The YFZ top speed aroung 65-70. But it can be modified. It has better handling and trail riding than a banshee and is 100 times better for jumping. It is made to jump and go fast. The banshee is a fast quad but it is mainly for drag racing. The YFZ is the better choice for almost anything u do, if the choices are those 2. The YFZ does need maintenance because it is a strait out racer but the banshee has moe problems and needs more maintenance because its a 2 stroke. I would consider getting the YFZ when i get a new fourwheeler. You should also look into a z 400 or a 450r. The banshee top speed can be somewhere around 70-75. It has some of the best top speed but that wont do that much good if u need and trail riding good handeling bike with good acceleration.

the banshee doesnt handle too bad and it can be modded to do whatever you want it to. ive heard of a few yfz motors blowing up too, i dont know if its true but any thing can break. the banshee motor is very reliable if you dont abuse the crap out of it.

Like the other guys have said,go with the YFZ.Stock for stock The banshee may or may not beat it top end;And if it will it'll take take long time to get around a YFZ because the Banshee will be playing catch-up right from the start.......

You have a modded Banshee which will probably beat a stock YFZ in a top end race but, at the MX track or anywhere else you will fail miserably .

to tell you the truth, both are great quads. the yfz has proven itself and i think that we can all that the banshee sits up there with the zilla, but really matters, go and sit on both and you will know right away what quad is best for you they both are lacking in some areas. i have ridden both and if you are a little taller then average the decision will be easy when you sit down. I would like to here the out come of this situation
