dragbanshee98 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 i have always wondered this, and have heard the topic go both ways before. i figured y not bring up the topic on the hq. if these quads were fully modded to the wall, set up for straight line dirt draggin, which one would win in 300 feet? let the discussion begin...

shanYE west Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 All out builds with no budgets.... Banshee. There is some RIPPIN R's out there and I'm not taking anything away from them. I just think the aftermarket is more geared to the shee's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06shee325 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 The Rs ride like shit, i used to be obsessed with them then i owned 1 and it is nothing special. speed wise i would say my shee would tear that 1 appart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragbanshee98 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 ya i figured the shee would be better... was wonderin bout that cause i thought about getting a 250r to drag along side my shee... would it be worth the investment? i am thinkin that it would take alot more money to get it to keep up with an equally fast shee... but idk... would a shee still be faster if u were to build one of each on like say a 10,000 budget per bike?

shee4speed Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 You brought up this discussion on the HQ. Well definately the Banshee will always win. I've never owned an R,but all bets on the shee anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Not even close. But, a good built (and tuned) R with a good rider can hand someone their ass at the dune. I think it would be fun to build a big single cylinder drag bike, but I probably never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawiking Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 there are some sick ass 250r based bikes. this is a buddy of mine's bike off another forum.. http://forums.atvdragracers.com/index.php?showtopic=288 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 the banshee by far will always be faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 For a 10K budget, you can build a banshee no R will touch on that same budget. The R's are a great track and dune bike. For all out drag racing, unless you're building a purpose built bike for a particular class or cc size limits, I'd rather build a banshee. There are more out there drag racing, parts are more plentiful, and CHEAPER... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellar Performance Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Im not going to completely agree with everyone here. There has been some huge gains in the honda word over the last 5 years. With all of the saber motors and other parts to make them have huge HP numbers. Where the problem lies is how much more money it takes to make the honda as fast as the banshee. I used to be a hard core Honda guy. Nothing but 250r based bikes! Most of them were setup for MX and Dunes. But that was before I really got into hillshooting and drag racing. My last honda was a ESR 330R motor. I thought it was really fast, and it was for a R, but when I kept getting my ass handed to me by stock cylinder drag banshee's, thats when I started doing the math. It was much cheaper to sell my R and pick up a banshee to mod, then it would have been to make my R fast enough to compete with the bikes of the time. Now this was around 7 years ago, but I have never looked back thinking I should have stuck with the Honda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05Special Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I raced a kid on his high horse about his "bad 330R" and layed an ass whoopin down. Real bad. They are fast bikes but when someone starts throwin some money into a shee they wake up ALOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireFightinMJ Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I raced a kid on his high horse about his "bad 330R" and layed an ass whoopin down. Real bad. They are fast bikes but when someone starts throwin some money into a shee they wake up ALOT having owned a 330R and a 310R, they are quicker than a Banshee but not faster. single cylinder puts them for better torque but less horsepower. oh and i had the old school 250Rs, the ATCs. so they were lighter than the newer 250Rs that are quads. now the few friendly races i did i was ahead of banshees. until later down the road they could pass me. but i no longer own those hondas. instead i have two Banshees. i wonder why. haha.
