Im sick and tired of people saying how the banshee is king. Its a fast bike, for sure. But come on, in all reality, if u set a stock 86 Honda ATC250R next to a stock banshee, the banshee is eating dust. And as far as the real king goes for a stock bike, the quadzilla is it and always will be. Ive ridden stock and modded banshees running alcohal. None of them impressed me for being a 350cc 2 cylender. Sorry Yamaha fans. Banshees are heavy, which makes it not a very good jumping machine, ive watched alot of axles snap under banshees on tracks. There sluggesh as he!! off the start, and not all that great top end. They have good mid power and thats about it. Watch how many people try to argue and justify there opinoin. Theres no point though, ive ridden them all. This is first hand experiance.

 

Hey Pimp250Ryder

I agree with you 100% except theres no way the quadzilla is king sure it may be the fastest but the atc250r is half the size and it can easily keep up with one.

 

Yeah I agree, the ATC 250R is a bad machine. I mean stock to stock though, the Quadzilla got it by a little bit. But I would never trade my ATC for a Quadzilla. I have a ATC250R right now that im working on rebuilding from the ground up. Im thinkin that im gonna leave this bike bone stock, or atleast stock looking. Its more fun when you pull up to the line on a stock looking machine and whip the crap out of someone. Ive had this bike for about 3 years and I burned a dime size hole in the top of the piston recently. I traded a Honda ATC110 for it. I love the 250's though, hell of a bike to ride. The one i ride now is bad. You really gotta stay over the front end.

 

The older air-cooled R is a sleeper anyway. It just doesn't "look" like it would be as fast as the newer machines. Whooping the competition upside the head is fun, but it's even more fun when they don't see it comming.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I wish that I knew somebody that had a 250r ATC. My buddy has a Banshee too, and he is the type that thinks that they can't be beat. It would be funny to see his face...hehe.

Personally, I don't think that the Banshee is the baddest quad of all time, BUT I like mine for what it is, and I guess that's all that matters. Reliability wise they have a better rep than the lt500, and they are easier to get than a 250r atv (around here anyway), and that means a lot to me.
