ClimbAnyHill Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 That sounds crazy! Would be an untamed wild horse if you were able to mount the motor. Bike is too small to be stable. PIpes would stick out like horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIpes would stick out like horns. That's exactly what I was thinking. I was trying to think what the smallest pipes that would work would be.

Starwriter Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have actually contemplated something like this a lot. Seems to me like the best way to do it would be to start with a Banshee. Weld a Honda 250R 3 wheeler front frame section to it. Then build a single wheel swingarm for the Banshee frame. With about a 25" ripper on the back it would be a hoot.

joey83 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Anything is possible but not always practical. Is that an actual pic of your big wheel? One in pic looks MINT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevota84 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 IMO, look for an air cooled 250r motor. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 ride it the way it is first and consider what you really want to do. i'd lean towards 400ex engine banshee motor would look retarded in that chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 400ex with a 440 kit and some porting. A 450 would be sweet, but then you gotta find room for a radiator. Same with a banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with a banshee.Cooling system is exactly why I was thinking a/c 250r but a 400ex would be cool too. Hell, a stock 400ex is probably 4-5 times more power than the motor that's in it. Ir maybe even a warrior 350 to keep it all Yamaha. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevota84 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 After research, the only info I can find says a bw200 is about 15hp, which is way more than I expected. A warrior is only 21-22 and a 400ex is 28. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a dune monster with some sick power. It would be a real sweet toy to own and a hella fun if it rides as it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeCanBanshee Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Could use a 2-1 pipe. How wide is the frame in relation to the motor? Isn't there a vid of a moto4 with a banshee motor on you tube? I know I saw a really tiny ATV with a banshee motor on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
