KX250 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 I have a KFX400 right now. A local shop has a complety redone 250r with powdercoated frame and pretty much every thing on it. My question is will i be sprry if i buy the 250r apose to the banshee. If I get the shee it will be brand new, On the other hand the 250r is a 89. Will I have problems with things breaking, which one will be better for me. I ride alittle MX and NO DUNES. Quote
BrokeStonedBiker Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 for what ever you ride street trails mx dunes... an 89 250r or a bran new 2004 banshee? i dunno thats a tough one, does the 250r come with 7,000? Quote
99LRDblaster Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 if your into MX and no dunes then definitely go with the 250R. you will be much happier however the KFX aint a bad wuad either with some stronger parts and frame reinforcements. Quote
mavguy Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 Ya man this is one is a tuffy. The 250R handles better and jumps better, im told (never rode one), but is blah in terms of boo-wah! (no power) also, maintaining a R is cheap and they are easy to tune (1 carb/cylinder/exaust!) I am thinking of selling my shee to buy a good 250R Quote
Wassup350 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 If your into racing MX. Then get the 250R. For everything else besides maybe deep mud get a banshee. I use mine for mainly trail riding and some jumping on my track out back, and i wouldnt trade it for anything but an other banshee. I dont think anything is as fun Quote
MADMOOSE Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 get the r for sure...better all around...(everywhere)things will rarely break if it is great cond right now....but if ur mx'n it that might be another story its a honda so it will run forever too Quote
shellbyzfan33 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 i own both and i love the r !!!!!! Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 get the 250r for mx nothing can touch it, i still see the new 450's gettin raped by em, if u were dunin its all banshee htou Quote
