Default Raptor 700, Banshee, YFZ-450??

I want to buy a new 4 wheeler. I have owned a raptor and I really really liked it.. I go to the dunes, mountains, and just everywhere I can. I am trying to figure out what to buy... What do you guys think?

Hey man I would probably get the 700 because of all the different types of riding you do. The if anything I would go with the YFZ before the banshee unless you like rebuilding the motor after about 3-4 months. Both the 700 and the YFZ are really good bikes but the YFZ is for the track. Definately the 700!

Thanks; Josh

Thanks for your opp. Thats kinda what i have been leaning towards. The YFI (fuel Injection) is kinda making me lean towards it. Plus the styling of the bike is awesome. How much should you expect to pay for the 700?

LOL, the only way a banshee would need rebuilt every 3 or 4 months is if you used sand for pre-mix instead of oil. A shee should give you 3 or 4 years of hard riding before needing re-ringed.

Hey remember me: We debated quite a bit about Banshee vs YFZ. Well I got a Banshee[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I know you can give me #@$%[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I still like the YFZ but now all food groups are represented in our collection. Even Honda 250R[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Okay maybe you can help me. Obviously my Banshee is stock just bought it brand new: T-5's or Paul Turner pipes?? I was told by Cascade Innovations that T-6's are a waste of money because they don't allow the engine to rev over 8000 RPM, so if I want Toomey's to go with the T-5's but that if I want the best dune pipe to go with the Paul Turners. I don't really like the look of the Paul Turners but performance is more important than looks in the big picture. Any thoughts or suggestions???? PS I changed my icon from 250R racer to the chick.
