[COLOR=red] [B] What will win a stock YFZ450 or a stock Banshee? im hearing the Yfz will win but its kinda hard to believe

Im going to go with the yfz 450

STOCK, I'll go with the banshee. Although the YFZ's are nice bikes! I'd take a stock YFZ over a stock banshee but in a drag race stock vs. stock I'd have to take the banshee.

ive seen a YFZ beat a moded shee, but i dont know if the YFZ was moded or not =/ it was a DADDOG video

If it was a moded shee the YFZ was modified too.

It also depends on the rider

Whoever spent the most money on their suspension. Underated for sure. And the rider.

We are talking straight stock bikes, nothing done to them taken out from the dealer and put on the road and raced, sorry if i sound mean

yfz

Definetly the yfz if stock for stock on flat ground.

the banshee will beat it through the gears but once the 450 gets on it the 450 will pull ahead. two strokes are quicker but four strokes are faster. there is a difference.

My two stroke is quicker and faster.

You kx500, i think thats what you have :?:

How long of a strip? Lots of key factors, I am gonna go out on a limb here and say the YFZ will take a banshee on anything over 1/8 of a mile, My bro on his YFZ, was eating up banshees at the drags at Glamis when we were there a month ago, granted his is slightly modified, but the bikes we was racing did have pipes and ???, its still comparing apples to oranges. and I still say just because its faster in a straight line, doesnt mean its the best quad, guess that is why top fuel dragsters dont race Baja.

Screamin Ian hit the nail on the head. Distance is a huge factor. Personally, if I didn't have toys I'd take any quad. You can have fun on anything.

Both with pipes and intake and jetting mods the 450 will win hands down. The problem is very few people had just that on their banshees. My brother has a piped banshee with a milled head and we're neck and neck and we weigh about the same.

Short course - always the 'shee. Stock on stock, longer race, YFZ. Modded on modded, I like the 'shee again. Granted I only own one, so my opinion is biased...

the question was about stock bikes...right?

a stock shee is a slug!!! i beat a friends shee on my Z...shesh!

i also have a friend with a yfz that would smoke ME real bad in a race.

so from my experience here...ill say the yfz

stock for stock anyway


jus courious......why are you asking this question??? (it really is comparing apples and oranges)

banshees are pretty tame stock. soon as u hang pipes on one and other basic bolt ons with some good porting theyre rocket ships. i hate stating the truth about this because im a honda guy, but the banshee is king of the hill.

24V 's 450 is not stock and my Banshee is not stock I get to the top of the hill first

Through the woops I own him but what ever distance there is between us after the woops is the same distance there is at the top

Stock to stock the 450 is going to win no doubt about it short or long runs but through the same $ at them and you have a new winner

guys, don't you read all the reports in any of the ATV mags....in the straights, through the whoops, short track, long track, flat out...the YFZ straight up puts a can of whoop arsk on the Banshee...no opinion here...just what I have read....my personal opinion...I have seen the stock one beat piped banshees at Glamis....within my group.....weight and experience about same on both riders...the banshee guy couldn't beleive it, so he raced against his own bike (they switched) and still beat his Banshee.....now..if they would only make the YFZ a little bigger for us tall guys.....

A friend of mine has a stock banshee, and he was runnig side by side with a 400ex with just a pipe (up test hill at gordon's). Another friend bought a new 450 and raced a stock z400 with paddles (450 still on knobbies) up patton and kicked the crap outta him, and the z will beat a 400ex, hence my oppinion is it will beat shee. Now a banshee with pipes and a rejet, will give the yfz a run for it's money, but the 450 is considerably lighter at 350lbs to the shee's 386lbs. I dunno the hp output of the shee stock, but the 450 is supposedly over 40hp.

YFZ.............

hmmm *rubs chin* imagine a twin 450

no mods just stock and stock

i know that a stock yfz 450 will smoke a stock banshee i have seen and done it many times flat or on the hills and anybody that has ridden a stock banshee knows they are actually slow

who worries about racing stock anything in glamis?

Stock 'shees are absolute dogs, hardly faster than a 400 thumper. Minimal modding (pipe/filter/jet) is a night/day difference, though.

Anything stock sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen some (supposedly) stock 450's, and they seem to hang well enough...

YFZ.....but then again....at the end of the day ya'll sit down by the fire and enjoy the fire and the company....RIGHT??...does it matter who finished their beer first or because he was driking coors light and i was drinking bud that's why he beat me to the bottom of the can??!!??
OK, enough for me tonight....i'm babbling now.
sheesh

Last year in dirt wheels they had that aprils fools joke, an \d they said honda came out with a 3 cylinder bike that had a jetski front hood, it looked kind of cool, and in the issus following that one people replied in the letters that they were so excited and they sold there quads to get one
