raxen Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 He doesn't know how to ride his 250. You will get your ass handed to you on just about any terrain with a good rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bensshee Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 My brother has a kx 250 and we trade off. His 250 cc verses my 434cc and he can stay we my no problem. We only race in the sand. If your buddies 250 can't beat you, it is probably a tired bike or operator error. On the other hand, keep beating him until he figures out what he is doing wrong.

Meat_Head Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 I have been racing vs stock dirt bikes 250cc two strokes and 426-450s 4 strokes for a couple of years now and if you race them in poor traction conditions like loose sand they are not exactly fast.Since they top out at around 80mph (pretty much the same as a piped Banshee) in loose sand a Banshee with all the regular bolt ons and a good set of tires will give those dirt bikes a run for their money and in some cases beat them.Now hold this same race on pavement and the dirt bikes will easily win... From my own experience in good traction conditions a Banshee absolutely needs to have been ported to run with a dirtbike, the bolt ons wont cut it.Now saying a Banshee cant take a dirt bike no matter what aint true at all,at the time i was running a 400cc T-REX top end i could take all of them no matter what the conditions were.I will spare you the details but the 421 Cheetah engine i am running now just kicks their asses so hard that none of them will race me anymore...

yamaha350 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 i have even raced a few crf450's and beat them with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fel0n Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Yamaha350, I have trouble believing that you beat crf450s. Im not saying your lying but I'm just sayin you must have a hell of a banshee. Those things are f***ing fasttttttt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat_Head Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 crf450s are barely faster than CR250s in fact i have seen races go both ways,pretty much depends on the riders same with the YZF 450s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak01 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I dont know where these guys ride at or maybe they have stock banshee but if a 250 could out run mine for that much even those crf's i would burn it just my 2 cents worth!

yamaha350 Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 i would like to think i have a hell of a banshee. a friend of mine has a built crf450 and bet me a grand he could beat me. after we raced he refused to pay. we raced the flats, up hill and from rolling starts and he never beat me. we were riding at winchester bay, or. the only dirt bike that has given me a run was a built cr500, he was right on my tail up boxcar.
