96_banshee_96 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) A guy has offered me a trade for my 96 banshee. He offered to trade me a 87 TRX 250r. I have never rode a honda 250r and wanted to know how they compare to the shee. In a flat out drag how does the 250r hold against a stock banshee with pipes and no port work. Pretty much Im just wondering if this will be a good trade. The 250r has K&N air filter, pipe,new tires freshly pouder coated,new plastics,new seat, and some other random things.The paint on my 96 is not in the best of shape so it doesnt look the greatest but the things I have done to it are. New Hotrods trued and welded crank. Standard bore wiseco prolite pistons. Leager +2+1 a arms. New fly wheel. New Riky stator stator. New clutch. boysen reeds on stock cages Ricky Stator adjustible timing plate. Aftermarket handle bars Nerf bars. T.O.R.S removed New rear axle carrier bearings. new seat cover. New K&N dual pod filters with outerwears. Adjustible LRD pipes with toomey silencers. Fast trekker rear tires 75% tread left. Front bandit tires 90% tread left shock covers. aluminum oil dipstick Edited June 21, 2007 by 96_banshee_96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peak-j Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I raced a buddy of mines 250R that has been piped and jetted and that is it, it wasn't even a race, but I have more mods than that. That was also on paddles in the sand. I personally wouldn't do it, especially with all the mods you have done to yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droppedatbirth Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Let's see... um yea... banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 If you plan on doing drags stick with the, banshee. But for anything else I would get the 250r They are nice quads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96_banshee_96 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yea I think im going to stick with the shee. I think the only reason I want to trade so bad is 1. because I kinda wanted a 250r for some reason and 2. because the paint job is kick ass. I think I will just get mine painted or pouder coated over the winter because I cant stand the way it looks right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96_banshee_96 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 They guy just told me it has port work and reeds too. I think im gunna take a look at it and if I like it then im gunna do the trade. I dont really need it as a drag bike just as a play bike. I have my 87 shee that has almost everything as the 96 execpt for the +2+1 Aarms. I will keep you guys updated and if I trade I will post up some pics. Its one of the nicest R's I have seen in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I would rather have a 2 shees. One as a playbike and one as a drag bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 unless his bike is super nice and yours isnt i would never in a million years trade a banshee for a slow ass 250r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96_banshee_96 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yea mine is a nice bike. The paint looks like shit but other than that it runs strong as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Smoker Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Dude paint looks nice but if your bike is mechanically sound and works good don't even think about trading. Think about it...a 350 twin vs a 250 single? It's not rocket science there's no replacement for displacement and an extra cylinder NEVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96_banshee_96 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Went and looked at the 250r today. Its was not in the condition I expected it to be in. Nothing like a good old 350 twin :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyjersey Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I own an 86 250R and a Banshee so i can give you some unbiased info, not saying anyone here is biased but you know what i mean. There both Great quads But in there own areas. My 250R is stock other than Piped and Jetted, K/N intake and 39mm Keihin Carb. My Banshee is stock other than 2:1 single carb intake, Toomey T-5 Pipes and thats about it. In a straight away My Banshee is flat out Faster no ifs ands or butts! The 250R Just dont have that Crazy Pull off the line like my Banshee does. On the Track i gotta go with the 250R tho, Much easier to whip around, jump and control the overall quad. If your going for straight out speed than stick with your Banshee, Unless the 250R is Worked it aint gonna touch your SHEE. I think after a few weeks you would really be missing your Banshee. Id get rid of My 250R before i would get rid of my SHEE! Thats just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorK Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I love 250Rs but I'm gonna have to say no, I wouldn't trade my banshee for one. I would on the other hand love to have both without a doubt. Some of those Rs with sabertooth top ends are near 500cc's and fuckin evil as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
