personally i would say go with banshee but besides that.... its a personal choice. 450 is more sport focused (speed, aggresive riding, jumping, ect) raptor, altho much improved this year, is still mostly a trail quad. both will have plenty of power and both will move just fine. raptor is also more comfortable

Wow, you guys are not all that bright are you. How can you say one bike period end. If that were the case, no one would have ever made a new quad because the banshee was the only bike anyone ever needed. What I have seen from my friends banshees is that they take a crap load of tunning, for every hour you spend thrashing it get ready for two hours wrenching it. The suspension geometry of the shee is garbage and you will be spending a ton of money to make it dune worth a damn, unless you want to get beat to hell. Now the banshee is a good bike for shooting hills or running drags. Now for actually dunning I would say its all how you ride. The 450 is more agile and easier to handle. The 700 is extremely comfortable to ride and has very plush suspension. Both bikes are fricking awsome bike and relatively low maitenence. If you get a chance ride them botha and see what you like better

Well said! The Banshee is definitly not the end all do all duner some people might have you think. If you want a more quick, agile, peppy quad and can sacrifice a little comfort to have it then the YFZ is for you. If your lookin for something to do more trail riding and/or more casual riding than the 700 would prolly be better with it's new redesigned ergos and suspension it's a much better handling and confy quad than the previous model. Good luck with your decision!

nice way to say that banshee is bad azz but if it was the best why is yamaha making differ atv and giving that one up
I have a raptor 700 and gave my banshee up for it my best friend rides with a yfz450 and that is nice to but i would still stay with the raptor 700 all around kicks *** everbody that gos riding with us say the same
