A banshee has awsome power but you get tired quicky and need to be widened for stability and pipes added, but you can do that for the price of a stock 450

| The 450's are much better set up standard and perform much better for motocross than the banshee. The banshee has the power but the 450 puts it to the ground much better. There were a few other things mentioned in those other topics about why a 450 would be a better choice than the banshee. |

i plan on doing alot of riding around sydney area because i live here, and up at stockton beach at newcastle... down at tugalong a recreation park south of sydney, and a few other local places, mates farms, etc.
So i will b doing alot of riding on dirt, and sand... Alot of people are steering me towards the 450 but then a couple of mates with the banshee are pushing towards that so it is confusing me lol..?

they don't make a 450 raptor, they make a yfz450.
skip both and get a raptor 700, for the type of riding you want, you won't be disapointed

| yeah banshee is good for dunes, but if you ever decide to take up any motocross or enduro rides you'll be much better off on a 450 |
