Okay

There is a reason the 250r is the king on the rave track. Reliability & handling.

Impressed by johns save, impressed by Sabos time. You guys are killin it 🤙🏼

Maybe it’s just me, but I always felt like the wheel speed on the banshee made it a little more to handle in rocks? Never ridden a 250r built like yours though either so no clue I guess! Both bikes ripping, so awesome, the sound of the banshee never gets old to me! Great videos as always mike!

Hard to say; definitely the suspension is a major factor regardless of the wheel speed. Thank you for watchin man!

Both kicked ass but that save was pretty freaking awesome

There's a reason that the TRX250R dominated the track for years...even after production had stopped. I'm glad to see you're not drag racing...but actually comparing in a real riding situation.

Love the channel man! Been riding quads for many years now, mainly technical trail riding, but your content is great. I think the best thing is that you didn't have to create some persona for the camera; you're just being yourself and that's very clear, refreshing and easy to watch.

I'm 100% banshee myself stock or modified im good with. I've rode 3 different 250r and my banshee smoked all 3 but the aftermarket shocks on my banshee makes it a little smoother lol 😆

Johns save was awesome!! Well done. 👍🏻 keep the vids coming love watching both of your videos!!

From experience and growing up I started on a stock banshee that just had some fmf pipes and it was pretty easy to learn but I feel with starting off on a banshee it does teach you to respect any machine because if you don’t it definitely can get out from under you. Honestly I think it’s all about research and interest wether you wanna go 4 stroke or 2 stroke. But if your a person more interested in 2 stroke then definitely get a stock banshee and learn and work your way up to modifying based on whatever type of ride style you will be doing most. Love your guys videos though thanks for all your hard work you guys rock 🤘🤘 hope this helps anyone

Racing back in the 90's in the woods you never saw a Banshee out there. And if you did it was not a problem to get ahead of them. The 250r just has the best all-around handling. And the Banshee is just a handful at least all the ones I have owned have been. They are great on the sand dunes though.

That 250R surprised me! What a beast!

I would definitely go with the the 250 Quad Racer. I had 1 back when I was in highschool and it always amazed people that I was able to hang and even beat Banshees and some dirt bikes. I'm currently looking for a 250.

I had a 87 250r that had a esr 310 top end and a +8 hotrods stroker crank. Had custom hand built +2 front arms with peps suspension. A -1 rear swingarm with a modified stock shock. There were a few guys on built banshees that tried to keep up with my r in the woods. Banshees just don't handle well enough to keep up with a r in woods.

You guys shredded!! Wes too! Great vid

That save was VERY impressive man. I would have died riding those beasts. This made me laugh my ass off and I’m excited for the next videos keep up the great work y’all do. I also think if I rode them I would probably win on the 250R. Its definitely a tamer machine but I still like the banshee more.

Perfect example of how most people would benefit from better suspension / handling of a sport quad than the power upgrades most do to a quad. Most riders can't use the full power of these machines in stock form, and making them more powerful helps, but not as much as suspension at first. Great video.

I love the banshee but for trails I think I would choose the 250r.

Both wonderful and awesome looking quads

Watching this episode got me thinking that the drag race episode it’s going to be a close race and it’s going to come down to whoever can get the best launch. I think the R will get a better launch. The shee will possibly be a 2nd gear launch on the to hook up better and keep the wheels on the ground. You will still pull them up but it should be more controlled on a second gear lunch. Can’t wait. The shee is a dune Machine most definitely.. it will be hella fun on the dunes.

Never rode a banshee before but would love to try one someday. Learned to ride on my dads 89 250r when I was a little kid and bought my own 86 250r last year. It’s a blast! A few months after I got mine my dad bought my brother an 87 250r so now we got 3 in the family. It’s so fun to go play in the dunes with them. I could only dream of making my 250r like yours. That thing is sweet man. 👍

these dudes definitely are beast at riding very awesome 👌

i love the even ness of the 4 stroke for a newbie lol ill hit that jump full throttle at the base and SKY on my yfz450r. i would DIE on the Banshee. But i LOVE looking at them lol

That's How my yamaha raptor 600 twin hybrid is a good friend of mine Built a Older Polaris Scrambler with a Polaris xc700 twin she's wicked we call em our Homemade Banshee's

That 250 is nasty

As it turns out John can ride better than I thought.

i would say with the 250r and the cr250 its as hard as u can push it they are great race bikes the harder u push it the more it steps up to the plate as for the banshee well it has its limit no limit to mid range power which is where most yamaha design excels but in the end the harder u ride the more response u get out of a race bred 80s bike

That was a pretty cool comparison to have all 3 of you guys run both machines. My question is could you tame down the power band of the banshee a little to make it more usable power for an application like this or the woods? Like maybe reed spacers or flywheel weights or something along those lines to kind of smooth out the difference between non power band and power band. It really comes down to the rider and seat time, back when we were doing hill climb events I seen some pretty amazing runs put down by guys on banshees.

@MichaelSabo

2 жыл бұрын

I definitely think the power curve could be smoothed to make it a better rider in the woods; the banshee is like a light switch with power. It's a result of the way I built it not know 100% what I was doing. Porting and different pipes would drastically change it in my opinion (which is soon to happen 😎 )

I’ve ridden both. Banshee is like riding a bull but the 250R is a race horse. For me hands down the Honda is better and faster machine. Banshee wins a drag race but if it’s a technical course …the 250R is a beast
