well as far as i know my banshee is sold, just waitin on the check, so when i get it ill be ready to go pick up a new 450 but my question is, Does anyone have any regrets buying the 450 after u have had them a lil while, i meen as far as fading, scratches and maybe even stretch marks like the yamaha blue does?? any complaint cause if they still look good after a while im buying a black one no questions asked.

 

I haven't had mine for very long, but I can already see the black being pretty beat up... I don't have a lot of scratches, but each one shows up very well. I don't mind, all in all I think even a scratched black 450r looks better than a red 450r. Just in my opinion =)

 

My black raptor is an 03 and its been through a lot. My plastics still look better dirty and scratched up than most others I've seen. Black just looks so good on sport quads, the scratches are going to show anyway.
