| a banshee was not even asked about, he talking about real yammies, go the 660. being a 660 owner. i would say the 450 better value for money and already race prepped and reliable and friendly to ride, withenough grunt to get you out the diifficult spots. |

| Go the 700 raptor mate, just bought one myself and they are great and unlike 450 they got reverse which on tight trails is awesome when you need it but if you gonna race it get 450. |

Out of your three choices I would go the Raptor 700.
Don't discount other brands though. Take a look at the Polaris Outlaw, there a great trail quad.

probly go a banshee.... but since it wasnt in ur list ide take the 450. the 700 doesnt seem to be as snappy in tight trails. ide take a 700 for the dunes!! but ide take a banshee over them all!! haha.

if you can see through the dust, a banshee's front wheels rarely touch the ground. that being said, dont go nowhere near the 660, the 700 is better in every possible way.
also wasnt yamaha releasing a 2010 yfz450 set up for trails?
