stock vs stock the yfz is far better then a banshee and faster. u will not be able to mod a yfz like u can do a banshee so if u are in to drag racing and have a ton of money get the banshee but if u are in for any other kind of riding get the yfz. a banshee will never handle like a yfz on an mx track or trail riding. but they arent enough mods for the yfz to even compete with a modded drag banshee.

that depends- how fresh is the motor? if it needs to be rubuilt, then it isn't that great of a deal. does the transmission shift smoothly? if it doesn't, you may need to repair it. and that can get expensive. what shape are the tires in? if they are all 4 shot, you are looking at around 200-300 to replace them all.

They were J-arms. you can get conversion kits for couple hundred bucks to allow it to run a-arms... You can get a conversion kit from ATV Racing

i would agree with head but the yfz is still new you cant expect all of its parts to come out a few months after it came out
