well no chit..nothin will ever touch the banshee..thats what they are made for..SCREAMIN in a straight line..obviously not built to handle.
A 450R and YFZ are in a different league. Bottom line. They are built for there purposes..and one of them is not performing in a straight line. Regardless of whether they do or not. A z 400 is built to be an ALL AROUND entry level(IMO) performance quad. I have ridden both..stock for stock the z400 will NOT run with it. Totally different feel. The top end just isn't there. I pulled real hard with my stock banshee(when it was stock) against a z and then he pulled hard on me when i switched bikes. 90% of the time..it comes down to who is the better rider not who is on the better bike. Everyone see's things different.

I have a 450r i ride with yfz and z400 .this is my 21st bike to own so we cant blame anything on the bike .the yfz and MY 450r are the same speed. the z400 with pipe isnt in same class. i just sold my raptor to my cousin it has a portjob curtis sparks pipe air filter jetkit .my 450r is a little quicker out the hole but after third gear he can beat me. that is true results.if any 400cc bikes say they can beat the 450"s they better have nos.everyone allways told me they beat raptors all the time but i allways smoked them .it is mostly the rider and the rest is tuning your bike right.

We havce a very large group from 5 states heading over with us in June.Its a yearly group ride we plan each summer. I would have to say you will run into some snow this year as we all got ALOT more snow than we have in recent years.Are you able to change the dates on your trip? Maybe to May or June??? Have you wever been to St. A's??? If not.. your gonna love it!!!! Tina
