Vegas YFZ Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I have friends and family saying that a banshee is potentialy faster than a yfz450 (are they right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas style Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 you can build anything to be fast it all depends on your $$$$. a banshee will be cheaper to make go fast and easier to work on being a 2 stroke. you can make a 450 fast also but it is more expencive and there is more of a chance you will have to have someone else do the work. it kind of depends what kind of riding you want to do hillshooting dragging duning trails.

mineurbiz Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Banshee is king of the hill, you can definately make a Banshee faster than a thumper, but it is not cheap. As for which one is more exspensive when doing comparable builds, I am not sure, but the Banshee is definately able to be faster than the 450.

ocean's 4 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 My opinion, all about the $$$, but the Banshee has what seems like unlimited aftermarket and go fast parts, from stock bore stuff to crazy big bore stuff. I would say with the market, you can make a Banshee faster, but there is always somebody faster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBoreVegas Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Why not compare it to the Raptor700r as well? I know from experience with a few mods and even stock to stock my raptor is faster than the banshees and 450's. Banchess are slow in my book.

Banchess are slow in my book. you can call a banshee's old tech but slow? you must never have riden one. you even say you need to do mods to beat one. if the banshee spent the same $ on mods as you did you would still be chasing it. i own one of each custom banshee and a 450r they are both different but the banshee is faster and with not much more $ it would a lot faster. it all comes down to $$$$ throw enough at anything you can make it fast.

dreamrr Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 With both being stock, the YFZ is faster. And the YFZ has more future potential. Four-Stroke is the way of the future. In my opinion, the YFZ is todays banshee :no_no: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the YFZ is todays banshee i would have to agree with em look how fast the 4 strocks took off allready much more reliability and i like the torq better then the banshees but i own one of each both about the same mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duneshredder911 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Sure thumpers have come along way, but if were talking about alot of mods the banshee cant be touched! IMO it will be a long time before anything will be with the expensive drag banshees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDuner Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Depends on what you mean by faster??? In the dunes, in a straight line, moto-x, woods, etc....... That is way to broad of a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YFZ Chick Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I have friends and family saying that a banshee is potentialy faster than a yfz450 (are they right?) If thats even think that is right you will need to change your name. Don't listen to your friends, maybe get some new friends, they are just pissed off because you have a better bike.
