dnomyar0 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 hey guys how is the performance between a banshee and a trx250r im not looking to do any heavy mods, maybe a pipe and airfilter for both... i have a trx250x and my dad has a banshee i need a quad upgrade after riding and mastering my dads quad, so i was looking to buy a banshee for myself, but i dont want to spend more than $3000 in california, and it is hard to find a nice banshee for $3000 in SoCal; so i looked to 250r's. this is something that im thinking of http://adcache.atvtraderonline.com/5/6/5/84978265.htm so how would a banshee compare to a 250r power wise, i know that the 250r's handle better thanks!

letsgetthisdone Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 A banshee with toomeys and k&n clamps-ons will make 45-50 horsepower for less than $550. A 250r makin that much power will have a built motor and be runnin' race-gas and cost over $1500. Get a shee, spend the extra thousand bucks on suspension and you'll smoke a 250r every time.

dnomyar0 Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 lol for somereason this made me real happy :baseball_w00t: when i buy things i usually always have the mentality of "how much can i profit from buying this" like i wanted a goped scooter for $400, all done up and pretty, but then i ran into a Yamaha Zuma for $400! i bought it knowing that i could sell it for at least $1100. that is why i was looking for something cheaper to possibly sell for more. but then i thought, what if i buy myself a fixer-upper banshee, like this one http://adcache.atvtraderonline.com/5/4/7/85188147.htm i could fix it, build it up, ride it for years, and then keep it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 there you go, that's a good idea building them is as much fun as riding them :baseball_original: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpete3 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 My buddy spent about $2700 for a CT 350 kit for his 250R. Performance is barely even at best with a banshee with filter and pipes and other mild mods. Just got a 06 Banshee, put on pipes, K and N pods and VF3's, will hoping to see how it rides with his Honda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnomyar0 Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 ok the banshee bug has stuck with me LOL so now which year banshees have the a-arms, isnt like 80something to now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 In my opinion it would depend on what type of riding your going to do most. Sure the banshee can make more power but on a track the 250r will be faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee~ Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 ok the banshee bug has stuck with me LOL so now which year banshees have the a-arms, isnt like 80something to now? 1990 was the first year for a-arms, but you can buy conversion kits. You would have to hire a welder/fabricator to cut of the j-arm tabs and weld on the a-arm tabs and while your in there gusset the frame.

sheefreak Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 i live in socal so there are no quad tracks that i know of in my area i love speed and sand I have an R for everything but sand and I love it. But you better get a Banshee considering your last statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
