My family owns a Yamaha dealership, so my opinion is bias, but i would say get the 660 Raptor

i've rode a banshee and a raptor, i would say your decision would depend on what type of riding you will be doing...personally i would buy a banshee, raptors are fun, but i like two-strokes.

A Banshee is to light for any real mudding and is more set up for race. Dont get me wronge,it is a very good quad. But in cold weather it runs like crap

oh and a 700 is TOO big, maybe a 660R

The YZF450 is probably the best Yamaha has to offer, this thing will walk a Raptor

First off if you want to go mudding DO NOT get a banshee or a raptor. These bikes are not made for mud. I own a banshee, I would never take it in the mud.

If you are strickly wanting mud , but you want an ATV with a little go I suggest you get a kawasaki Prarie 650. These are automatic, wench, 4x4 with locking hand control for locking hubs. They can do 60+mph stock, and have a better closed off airbox for the mud and water.

Now, if you want to stay out of the mud you have tons of options. Yamaha raptor 660, yamaha banshee, the new YFZ-450. Honda 400ex, both the suzuki and kawasaki 400s.

I dont think so. I am a big ATV rider. I have ridden both and each has their advantages. But I do beleive that the Raptor is the better choice.
