I plan on purchasing either a banshee or a 250R in the near future. I really like the R because of all the good things i've heard about it. I've never got to ride one though. I've rode a 96 banshee and i loved it. It hauled. All the people i've spoke said the banshee is faster, but the R has better handling and jumping. Well about the jumping i heard that the banshee is nose heavy, but would that really affect me when the longest jump i'll hill will be like 20 ft long? I"m used to jumping 4x4s and keeping my weight back so would a banshee be better for me? Also, I like the banshee cause i can get them in new and better shape than the R's for less price. Another question is, when i rebuild the banshee engine since it's two stoke, will it cost twice as much since it's twin cylinder? I need some help yall.

 

its your choice, but yes the banshee is nose heavey but since your used to jumping 4x4's and are used 2 leaning back it shouldnt be a problem.

 

The 250r wil hold its value alot better than the banshee, And yes they are twice as expensive to rebuild
