ok ive been looking for a new toy and im looking for a two stroke. I was thinking either a banshee, 250 dirt bike, or maybe even a cr500. I have a few years of experience on both a 660 raptor and a 350 warrior and a small dirtbike but not much on a 2 stroke. do you think that I would be able to handle these ok?

 

Depends on what you're doing.
IMO, the 500 takes a man and a half to ride. Big and bulky and a whole bunch of motor. Alot of fun but not for the timid.
The other 2 are good options.
The banshee's are fast, so is the 250 bike.
Something you're not used to with the 660..<EG> j/k

 

Not sure how the CR500 would be bigger and bulky vs say a CR250 the have the same chassis/Frame and suspension just that the 500 is a bigger bore motor.

Parked side by side they would be hard to tell apart.
500

250

 

There's no way for me to tell if you can handle them or not, only you know your skill level. A 250 (motocross) or 500cc dirtbike are both not beginner's bikes by any means. A 125 (YZ, CR, etc) would be better to start off on 2 wheels on. They still have plenty of power and speed, just not quite as much as the 250. I rode dirtbikes for years, and there are many reasons why I switched to 4 wheels, so my vote would be for a Banshee, but just be ready to buy 2 of everything if you have to work on the engine.
