Hey guys! I am new to the sport of atving. I just rode my first quad a few days ago by my house. It was an 89 Banshee. Absolutly crazy! I couldn't believe the speed it had. Anyways, what is the 250R? I heard it is from Honda and they made it along time ago. I also heard it could beat a Banshee which must be awesome! Could anyone please help me out? Also I want to get a new quad this year? What type should I get? I would be driving on tight, twisting, up trails, big open fields, and sand and gravel pits. Should I get 4wd? 2wd? Please any help on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated!!

 

First thing to narrow your choices is to figure out if you need a 2 or 4 wheel drive machine. Do you need the extra traction a 4 wheel drive provides? Do you want to spend the extra money for a 4x4?

 

2 me it sounds like 2wd will do for you, but 4x4 is always a nice ace in the whole to have...

you also need to decide if you want to go the "utility" or "sport" side of 4wheelers...

 

I think the 2wd drive would be sufficient!

 

Ok, now do you need racks? Are you looking for more of a sporty ride or are you looking to pull and haul things?

 

Dude... Go for all the marbles..400ex, if its to much for you, you can sell it easily.

The previous machines that were mention are good BUT it's nice to say GO BIG OR GO HOME 450 all the way. good luck

Go for the marbles and buy a 4ooex? If you want a real trail machine that is nearly as fast as the 400, but with way more traction and hop-up potential, get the Polaris Scrambler 400 4x4. This machine is a true sport machine, with a little 4x4 thrown in for good measure. It is RARE that a 250R will win a drag race against a Banshee. If you were impressed with the BAnshee's power, you better check into a Bombardier DS-650, no other production quad can compete. Or get a BAnshee!

I think I would want a sporty ride but, still good on the trails. I would get a banshee but I heard they are not for the novice rider. This will be my first quad ever. And I want to do it right!

 

Banshee's are fine for beginnig riders just try to find a stock one or one that is not very modified. A stock banshee still has a lot of zing but just a lot more controlable. If you rode one and liked it, get it, or test ride the 300ex/400ex if you don't want the 2 stroke good luck on what you decide and I hope you have as much fun as we all do on all of our different types of machines !
