I cant decide which one of these quads to get in the spring. I like 4 strokes, but I love 2 stroke power.

 

I would go with the banshee because I have a predator and I have beat yfz 450's and I cant beat a banshee.

 

What kinda riding u plan on doing? if u want 2 drag, or dune, the shee is the way 2 go. everything else yfz

 

As a previous banshee owner I would say get a 700r. I loved my banshee, i have ridden both machines and the only way a banshee is going to out perform a yfz is either on the streets or with a wad of cash in the sand. If you get a 700r you get the benefit of the power and traction of a yfz but you get reverse and fuel injection to boot for the same cash. If you are just going to race mx, sx, or somthing like that then get a yfz. Hope this helps!

 

The yfz will beat the banshee in a short race but in a long race a shee will win without a dout
mod for mod the shee will eat a yfz up. That da truth.

 

I do mostly do long all day trail riding. But the thing is, i love the 2 strokes, but a 4 is more conveient.

 

...ha ha, ok buddy. The day I get beat by a pred, will be the day I sell my yfz450!!!! A yfz will beat a banshee both in stock trim and modded up to a point. once you get into the motor of the shee the yfz is done.
If your out to drag, then get the banshee as it cant be beat. However, if your not going to drag strictly and are only going to do regular mods then the yfz is hands down better at pretty much everything!
I had a arm-ripping banshee, and went to the raptor. The raptor was a good quad an all, but the power delivery was anything but exciting. I ended up on the yfz, and its the best of both worlds (yfz and banshee). You get the complete package. With the shee, you pretty much get a motor, that has to be modded for it to really shine!
even when shees are technically making more horse over the yfz, it often times can be beat, as the banshee is notories for HORRIBLE wheel spin! Get into the motor on the shee though, and you set for a straight line!

 

250R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

my banshee has t-5, keihin 28's, and V-force reeds, and I take 450s and 700s at olds in glamis. Banshees are so much faster and cheaper

 

I'm not going to get on the pred arguement but by far the banshee is the fastest on the market
