alright, im currently building a MX banshee for this season. I was planning on racing the whole season with it. Do you guys think i should race a couple then sell it for a 4-stroke or should i keep the shee and race that. I have engine work, a-arms, axle etc.. already put on it. The thing is that i wouldnt be able to buy a 450 cause i wont have enough money afdter the sale of the shee. Should i buy a z400? They obviously can keep with the 450's as gust and jones showed. Also it liquid cooled etc. I dont want to get a 400ex, been there and done that before and im looking for something better for MX. Let me know your opinions, but please dont tell me to sell the shee and save for a 450, im gonna need something to race to keep the points up.

The Duncan banshee has 250r geometry wich makes it handle like a dream and yes the z400 that Gust rode had the yosh 450 kit in it. So unless you have lots of $$$ a banshee is alot to hadle on a track and the z is a litle on the slow side. But ride what you can aford don't sink to much money into it, and buy a 450 when you can.

keep the shee,maintain it and save up some $$ and next year you will be on a 07 450;) just stick it it out for one year, make it as fun as possible.

i have a 2003 z400 and my friend has a 2005 yfz450se and we dont race but at the track and on the trails i can keep up pretty good. but like i said we dont race so im not sure what it would be like on the track but ive had a good experience w/ my z. but really its all up to you what you do.
good luck
