Get the R, especially if you ride trails. They never did get the suspension right on the Banshee.

Go take each of them for a ride and see what you like best, or atleast go sit on both of them. I would say the banshee would be the more comfortable one especially for 2 people, maybe you should look at 4 stroke quads to?

Yeah I do mainly ride on the trail and motocross tracks. But I need a wheelrr for around $2000 and I want a fast one ! I dont know any 4 stroke that is as fast that can get for $2000. Anyways my girlfriend with me is important so I will test both , might bring her to see what it feels like with both of us on them.

you could probably find an ex for that much if you looked hard, i think a 250r would be kinda cramped for 2 people but it is the better of the 2 for trails
