Default banshee or trx450r

I don't know whether to keep my banshee or sell it and buy a trx450r. I want to be able to pop wheelies easily and also have lots of power to go fast. The banshee is freakin fast but i have a hard time doing wheelies. I know with the trx450r i will beable to do them, but will i be able to run with banshees in a drag race. what i don't know is it is worth it to sell thye banshee or not.

yea the trx will keep up with the banshee maybe stock but once you start to put money into both the banshee is pretty much unstoppable

The 06 450 r can be built to run with all but the fastest banshees if you have the $$$$

I was debating the same thing at the begining of the summer, except i wanted a 400ex and i was gunna start stunting. Instead i just bought a 15 dollar front sprocket and taught myself how to wheelie on the shee. Once you get the hang of it its almost as easy as a 4-poke. How long have you been riding? It takes time to learn to wheelie good no matter what machine your on.

I dont care how much money you put into a 450r..There is no way it will run with the top built banshees...Lets say you could..There is no way it would stay together long enough to run it down the track...Im not saying there will not be one in the years to come..but right now..there not there yet...

Anyway if you want a good duner..or drag quad go with the banshee...If you want a trail quad or mx track quad go with the 450r...

DriverDoyle have you ever seen a 565 N Motion stroker trx run?I have and believe me it can at the least hang with (all but the fastest banshees) out there.Read closely where i said (all but).

Ok well i thought the way you put it was that you can run with the top build big milled shees...I mean CrayCraft and kenz are not even there yet with there rappys...But dont get me wrong i know there are some fast 450s out there..Trust me...Iv lined up with rawyfz before....

DriverDoyle its not my stroker Honda i have just seen it run and lined up with it on the drag hill and it is very fast.I have seen it take out some very fast banshees but i agree that its longevity will probably be an issue.There is no doubt that the (fastest) are still the big banshees but four stroke technology is moving along at a very fast rate so who knows what the future holds.
