next year i will be getting a new quad right now i am bsically lookin at the banshee & the 450R & YFZ but which of these r the fastest if i get a banshee i will have about $1,000 to upgrade it to equal the same as the 450's i already know to race i need nerfs,tires&rims,and front shocks. I wood love to get the toomey t-6 sincee they are awesome

well if you are going to buy a brand new bike you might as well go with a 450 especially if you are going to race. between yamaha and honda its all in what you like. but if you are going to get a banshee you are probably going to need a good amount of money to make it "Race ready" parts for any quad are not cheap especially when it comes to motor work there is two of everything on a banshee and it is alot of money.

He's right. Im 14 and I ride a Raptor 720 and a Grizzly 686. But Ive been riding the older grizzly since i was 6. Going from a 250ex to a banshee is a huge jump. But I'm not saying your nota good rider. Its all in your riding skills.

I was 13 when I got my banshee and it dident beat the **** out of me. T5's work better with porting than SST's. With $1,000 you can make a banshee walk a yfz, but it will not handle near as well. So if you plan on mx'ing go with the yfz450.

Dude banshees are great, but lets look at the work that you would have to do over time on it. The 2 stroke is wild on your pockets, 1 grand isnt really enought to do what you want. My vote is to get one of the 450s. I hade a Banshee and switched to the TRX450r and there was a big differance. But youre the one with the bread so do what you want but the write choice.
