A full blown 440 should beat a stock Raptor and Banshee.

Haven't seen or raced a yfz450, but from what I hear, they are faster.

As far as reliability, on a 440. I haven't had much of a problem besides the initial hard time jetting it. And had a blown head gasket once, but that was my fault.

I also change my oil often and have an FST cooler mod. But other than that my bike takes abuse, gets road non stop at the dunes in the 95* weather and no other problems.
