There is no doubt the z is a better performance machine than the ex. There is no doubt the yfz is a better performance machine than 450r, and there is no doubt the raptor 700r is a better performance machine than...........oppps. Where's your machine honda?

Funny everybody with a shee talks chit but I don't have any trouble keeping up in the dunes. You can only go so fast on any machine without killing yourself. This arguement is pointless.

Congradulations. Good for you, Maybe some other people want to ride some trails a little faster than you.

Rider11x, Have fun with that civic. I still like classic cars alot better than the new stuff. Same with atv's. Ok thats 5 riders. Hardly a revolution. I'll throw you a bone and give you 200 pounds per rider. Thats 1000 pounds. You are still short of that TONS you claim. By the way,how many riders switched from 450r to yfz? Yeah, most threads on this forum degenerate into this stuff. I post here for ***** and giggles only. When I need good info, I go somewhere else.

Plus I spend a good deal of my time on 2 wheels. Not something the shee is real good for.

True enough. I'm glad the shee doesn't wheelie easy. The last thing I want while shooting a dune is to hit the powerband and have the wheels come off the ground. I see how that wouldn't be a problem for a mild 400. You say you spend most of your time on 2 wheels. Sounds like you spend most of the time you have your head burried in the sand. They don't call the banshee king of the dunes for nothing. If you doubt the prowess of the banshee on the dunes, check out planetsand.com.
