sweetshee4312 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I was talkin to someone about a 250r, i was woundering how these are...My banshee is fast, but bad for woods riding, and jumping. but when i think of a 250 i imagine me stallin out on hills, and not having the power of my banshee. Will it still be able to keep up with my friends banshees and things of the sort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelbanshee2 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 stock 250rs arnt that fast, then again neither are stock banshees. the powband on them is real smooth. they hook up alot better and handle better too.

stclark04 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I dont think I would trade. They way it sounds, that 250r is set up for motocross. Its wide and short. I wouldnt think trail riding would be worth a shit. Banshees are awesome for trail riding. I really dont think that there is much that compares with them. But, some people like the 250rs. But if it fits your riding style go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wassup350 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 My friend has a very tricked out 250R with a 330 ESR powervalved engine. He said he like his banshee better for trail riding. I think i would also, i think the banshee is a great trail machine. I keep right up w/ or stay ahead of my buddies YFZ and smoke my other friend on his predator through the woods.

sweetshee4312 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 ic....i dunno what im onna do, i like my banshee, but the powerband is to erratic for me, and its horrible on the jumps, and i dont feel like dropping 1500 bucks for a whole new suspention set up, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock banshee suspension sucks balls. Maybe it would be better for you to trade. You dont seem to like the banshee very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just takes a little work. Have you ridden it yet?? Always ride before you buy.... Or trade in your case.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 sweetshee, what kinda engine work do you have? if you had the right setup you would fly on that banshee thru the woods. my brothers banshee has got a woods port by eric gorr and its fuckin nuts thru the woods. its hard as fuck to keep up with. you can damn near lug it like a 4 stroke.
