The Banshee will never stack up against the 450 or the 700. $hit, the banshee wont even stay with a 400ex. The banshee motor is awesome, if you can keep it runnin, but the anchient chassis is terrible. Nose-dives like crazy in the jump and the ergos suck. Its so much easier to drive and ride the new wheelers their not even in the same class.

Not only that but I’ve seen YFZs and Raptor "700"/660 drags locally on asphalt and it’s honestly a toss up. I have seen the YFZ beat the Raptor and the Raptor beat the YFZ (not by much in either ones favor). The YFZ has a clear advantage over the Raptor when it comes down to power to weight, they produce more HP, rev out farther and faster, and are just quick as h3ll!! To say that a YFZ "can’t even hang with you" would be nothing short of a fallacy in my mind based off of what I have witnessed/experienced. You have a pipe and air filter for "performance mods" and the rest are aesthetic/protection related and further adding weight...
All in all I’d have to say I have witnessed the YFZ take the local Craptor 660s/Raptor "700"s more times then the Raptor(s) have taken it. The YFZ just flat out halls and so does the "700" (but the 450 is quicker); they are both very fast bikes and are capable of hanging with each other.
So unless your friend on that YFZ weighs 400LBS, has cement bags roped to the front of the quad, sucks at riding, or is jetted horribly I don’t see his YFZ "not being able to hang” with your Raptor.
Just my $0.02
