The stock 250r shocks in my opinion are better then the banshee shocks. And as for reliability, my 250r is still on the original piston, rings, and bore, and it starts 1st or 2nd kick every time.

 

The R had great shocks but they go through alot of wear and tear over the years, they should be better than Shee shocks but you gotta look at that it has been running those shocks for well over a decade. I wouldn't trade the Bomb for the R and 789, you'd be better off to sell and then buy the R. Usually R's with only a few mods go for around $2,500 to $3,500 around here. I have seen professionaly built R's run along time.

 

I agree, sell the Bombadier, and buy a 250R with the money.

You will be able to mod out the 250R very nicely with the extra money you get from the Bomb.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
