Looking for a 250R!
#1
Maybe some of you can help me out. I am thinking about selling the Raptor and getting either a 250R or a Banshee. I like drag racing some, but like to trail ride, climb hills and mx(try) more. Anyone have an idea about how much a decnt 250R would run a person? not modified to the hilt yet. Also, any pros or cons about the 250R compared to banshee or raptor are appreciated.

I did just the oppisite of you, I traded my 86 250R for my Raptor.
I see them in the bargan post for around $3500 for one that needs work to $10,000 for a race ready.
I got tired of always having to mess with it! I had to do a complete rebuild 2 years in a row including welding a hole in my case.
I also broke the trans 2 years in a row.
If you really want one go for it! They are a blast! Just be ready to tinker with it almost as much as you ride it! All 250R's are getting old & most have been rode hard for many years.
You can get a nice Shee that's a couple of years old for around $4000 & they have a lot of go fast parts availible. But it is still a 2 stroke & will require more matinence. It'll never handle as well as the 250R or Raptor without a lot of $$$$ but I think it's a better option.
I never looked back after I got my Raptor!
