Default banshee vs YFZ450

If your wondering what top speed would be you do not need a drag banshee. That means you have no concept of gearing, something dragsters require alot to adjust to terrain and tires. They also require alot of maintanance and know how to keep them running right. A few minutes play time with improper jetting could mean a melted piston or two. Not to mention when they hit the powerband they pull like there is no tommorow so you better have it pointed where you want to go. Kinda like playing around in a 9 second street car, its all fun till you lose control.

yfz all the way, cant get enough of mine! banshee are speed machines, the frames are extremely long and not a good trial or mx machine. if ur gonna drag i would say the shee but i hate two strokes with a passion and i would go with the 450 anyways!

I have a raptor that will be for trails!!!! I want a drag qaud so thats why i want the 450 motor. what should the hp be?
Like Jakal said, with a true drag quad you better know what you are doing. If your simply looking for top speed, no offense, but the drag quad is not for you.
