Dustejr73 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 thank you for all your help guys, i am a tried and true two stroke person. i just am not interested in the 4 strokes yet. here in southern oregon you can get a brand new banshee for 5699.00 where a YFZ is 7000.00. i am sorry, but that is too much to pay for a bike. i have rode a YFZ and they are the closest to a 2 stroke but not quite. i am sure i will get a banshee.

You can get a nice slightly used shee with many mods for a few thousand less than a new one.just leep an eye out in the forsale section. Alot of nice shee's that end up getting parted out because almost everyone on the board already has a shee or 2 or 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustejr73 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 i am sure you are right about buying a used one. but part of me wants a brand new bike that no one has ridden before. i dont have to rush into anything though, my big bore R is still in great shape. thank you Dave Duste jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANDSTAR Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Banshees OWN the sand. There is nothing else you need to know. Well, maybe besides you can get Banshee parts all day long on the cheap. Go to your local stealership and order some 250r parts. Get ready to bend over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheeryder21 Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 For all around bike the banshee would be my choice! As for dragging, I would get a 250R. Very light bike with some big balls. I went to Glamis this weekend on Fri/Sat, and my buddy has a 250r three wheeler which is the same motor as a quad 250r, he has a mild port and polish and he smoked me up the hill. Both were in 4th but he pulled away so fast!!! 250r's are fast as hell bro! / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decon Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 if you already have a banshee then go for a 250r. 250r has the best suspension and handles real good. even though the stock power output is nothing compared to the banshee, you can get its power up there. i would say the 250r could be more of an agressive sand duner since its suspension, and the banshee a hillshooter/draging bike in the sand. they are light and easy to handle. the 250r is a totaly different machine, get that and you have the best of both worlds.

decon Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) who goes to the dealership to order parts anyway? truthfully 250r engine parts are cheaper than banshee parts, because its a single cylinder and not a twin. just think about it.

jjfizzle51 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 i would say if only dunes get the shee but if you mx i heard the 250's are great for mx and trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moookie132 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I GOT A BANSHEEEE!@!!!!*#$#@)*$)#@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANDSTAR Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 (edited) If you are asking which is better on the dunes, just take a look around when you get there and see what everyone else is riding, or wishes they were riding. 370961[/snapback] Amen, brotha ! who goes to the dealership to order parts anyway? truthfully 250r engine Edited June 10, 2005 by SANDSTAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis's Banshee Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Amen, brotha ! I thought about it and I decided,.................you are an idiot. How many years did they produce the 250r?(less parts availability) How many years has the Banshee been in production??? (parts everywhere) If you own a Banshee, the dealership is the last place you go for parts. With a 250r, you don't really have much of a choice. Even if you do find a part on e-bay, it's at least 15 yrs old. 380260[/snapback] HUH, Aftermarkert parts are as plentiful for the R's as the shee's. Not quit sure what your talking about there. I have both a banshee and a 250R. The Shee is way better in the dunes, but the R kicks butt on the trails and the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decon Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) i dont know where u get the idea from that just because r's were made in 86-89 that parts wont be avalible. their are numerous companies who still make parts for the r. at one point r's became popular and companies began making parts for them. so u need to do your homework. now, who's the real idiot?
