Yamaha ruled with the Banshee for years, then came the Raptor, and now the crowned king is the YFZ450.

Can't wait till I get one!!!

 

You got it Ernie! The YFZ 450 is the king indeed!

 

Blah blah blah Yamaha. Blah blah blah blah Banshee blah blah Raptor. Blah blah blah who cares?

 

There they go again, the honda riders.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

No man, but its just 5 pages of blah to me! I know the good and bad with both these quads and personally I wouldn't want either one.............Just my .02 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

You can't think. I have seen many 450r's spank YFZ's. I have seen many YFZ's spank 450r's. I have seen them race and you wouldn't know who won cause they were so damn close. The point is, that there so close that its all about Rider. When there stock its so close, whoever is the better rider out of the 2 or who gets the better jump of the line will win. This is a dumb reply but man there close Stock and people will always say theres is faster even if they have a Z250 comparing it to a Quadzilla.

I have seen a Raptor and YFZ with the same mods of course different brands but everything was done the same and it came to the rider. The owner who owned both bikes switched with another and the guy who owned them won on either bike. He knew his bikes and he won with them.

As for the Honda 450 stock could not beat the same YFZ raced above, and yes the YFZ was modded. SO I cant really say the Honda was faster than the raptor, but I did race all 3 bikes with my 400 and beat them all off the line for about 50 feet or so then the YFZ passed me. I beat the 450 2 out of 3 times and I could not beat the raptor in the long run. I did beat it for about 250 feet on a 300 foot run and then it passed me.

DOnt know if this helps any but, hey I am not biased and love the YFZ and I LOVE the Legend Honda 250R, and not pleased with the HOnda 450 just yet. Not enough seat time, I only rode it about 5 minutes.

SO they are all great bikes, for what you want to do with them.
