If the Honda 450R is faster than the banshee, has more punch and take off, i'd buy one tomorrow. However, I highly doubt it, so prove me wrong here because im definetely interested in hearing about this. I always loved honda and need a good reason to dump my raptor for another 4 stroke [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Oh i have an article from atv rider that say 69 mph for the YFZ but it could be 73. My friend has a YFZ and my other friend has a shee, the yfz gets the holeshot but once the shee opens up it wins but its mostly about experience so.......... the 450R vs Shee would be a good one

 

It may depend on traction and the length of the race. I know that on a flat grassy field (a run of about 300 feet or so) a piped and jetted Z400 (belongs to a friend of mine) will hang really close to a stock Banshee (mine). I ran him 3 times on the same strip, I (the Banshee) won 2 out of 3 times, but only by about ½ quad length. The race where the Z400 won, he beat me by a wheel (about 1 ½ feet). I know I was spinning severely on takeoff, so if the traction had been better the Banshee may have had better luck.

I'd really say only off the line, the banshee can walk by my Raptor, and I've beaten my friends 450R

 

i didnt just bring up a thread that was over a year old, and its lose, not loose, and i could still probly kick your quads *** with my zilla not runnin fine

 

a 450r would definately beat a banshee stock vs stock

 

Oh yeah? How do you definately know?
