What type of riding are you doing?

Both bone stock down to the exhaust,

Power- The YFZ450 is ever so slightly faster. The banshee's stock exhaust system is set for bottom end power and restricted so it's hindered greatly. Throw a full exhaust on both and the Banshee is a little faster.

There's no doubt the YFZ handles better. It's a much newer quad. The seat is kind of hard. Banshee's have a couch-like seat and a soft ride. Pretty comfortable and the ergonomics are good, but the shocks definitely need upgrading.

If you ride dunes/wide open territory, banshee hands down. If you throw MX and woods into the mix, YFZ.

You can do it either way. I'm sure there's people out there willing to trade a sweet banshee for a 450 or if you sell it, there are tons of them out there. So either way you should be good.

And if you like 2-stroke power.. you'll love the banshee. And if that banshee was stock, they're different animals with a set of pipes.
