The ATC would probably come out on top, if not tie the banshee.
I dont think the fourtrax would be far behind though.

To tell the truth I was never really impressed with a TRX 250R's speed. But I did see a Banshee & ATC250R race. The old trike was the winner by about 3-4 lengths.

I don't know about the other two, but the Banshee's run at about 72-74 (depending on who you ask) stock.

I have an old magazine clock the ATC at 76 MPH bone stock, imagine what it would do with mods.

hey;

i have ice raced against the Banshees (and also the 500 Suzi's) on my ATC 250R. i was actually able to out-accelerate them. i believe that i had as much motor as they did, but my ATC is much lighter than they were, so that would be my answer to your question: if all of them are stock, the ATC should pull the TRX because of the weight difference, and if you didn't miss a gear, you could probably pull the 350 as well.

disclaimer: my ATC is definitely not stock, and i probably had much more motor than they did. plus at the time i was 14 and weighed 100 pounds. wet. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Well, I raced my 85 ATC250R against a 2000 banshee and won.The banshee was stock and I have a K&amp;N Filter, I weighed more than the banshee rider also.I also have an FMF silencer, not full pipe just the silencer

those trikes where just plain fast, I remember it was common to have ATC250R doing 90 in desert races, to have a quad do 90 it require an act of god.

aight well im just wondering i have a 400ex and when i was at pine lake in Astabuela, and I draged a atc 250r that was saposibly bored out to a 310 and some other mods and i beat him 2 out of the 3 times we raced. The drag was only about 100 yards but i was still able to get off the line faster than him and at the end it would be really close but i still won. so i guess all im gettin at is why wasn't he beating me at top end. I always thought that i would have ended up losing terribly. but all i can think is that it just wasn't long enough of a stip.
