I dont think the YFZ's have the banshee tires,I heard they had a new type of tread made especially for the YFZ.Is that true?

 

I think you are right. The tires kind of look like the shee tires, but they are a different dunlop radial. I knew that they werent the same as the raptor tires, but I couldnt remember exactly what they were.

 

I saw they are very tippy compared to other sport quads. I have been on my side twice, once just doing just a simply donut on slipper gravel dirt while I gave it all the body english I could. Now that I ride a Banshee, I don't think twice about donuts it slides so easy and effortless. Now my my friends 250r is the best quad I've riden for hanging curves and doing donuts, man that thing easly does donuts on the pavement!!!!!

 

Personally I like the Raptor more than the YFZ. The only thing I like about the YFZ is it's weight. You can feel the bike move because it's considerably light and has power to move it. The motor didn't impress me as much as a Raptor. If you want instand gobs of power at the tap of the throttle Raptor is the way to go, if you want to scream and rev the crap out of a motor than the YFZ is better.


The Raptor's narrow stance serves it really well in woods riding.... so if woods is your thing it's fine for that. Raptor is a much better alternative to the Warrior

 

I find the pred and the DS even more stable then the yfz, just imagine that u raptor owners! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
