You call my "R" an ancient beast??? I guess you don't know how long the engine they use on the banshee has been around...

As far as ancient goes, my bike is actually pretty new since it has been rebuilt from the ground up...

I STILL don't have $10,000 invested in it though I have advantages in that department... My buddy that had the YFZ never beat me on sand.

He ran same 110 octane fuel, same tires, same chance to win. This is only in drag race mind you. We never raced anything else.

Now, my little brother's banshee has LESS done to it and it is Faster than my "R"... It runs on pump gas.


It isn't in the things you add on really... Mostly that everything works togeather and is done right.

I have seen the YFZ beat my brother's banshee... That was on pavement and my brother was on struts not shocks. He couldn't keep it in a straight line...

 

Where are these race tracks where yfz's and the legandary 250r mix it up at? Maybe county fair's where half drunk fellers race around a half assed race track, wearing t-shirts, blue geans, and a borrowed street bike helmet? Dude, the 250r is BANNED from pro racing. Do you really think Doug Gust, mounted on a 250r wouldn't SMOKE the 450 pro production class?

 

i wasnt gonna reply to this caus of the whole fuel to the fire thing, but this damn topic keeps on coming back like fat chick nitemares from my own experience stock for stock/bolt ons. drag race 450 no problem BUT when you go into the motor, the shee transforms into a beast . you guys are crazy if you think a 450 will beat a shee ported polished etc in a strait line. this is not a biased opinion in anyway i currently own a 450 and sold a banshee to get it.

 

Ok i was just reading and trying to stay out of this one, But when someone says something like this i cant help myself.

I have ridden alot of quads even the new YFZ and its awesome. But your putting down a 250R one of the Best race quads ever. I dont think you undersand the HP you can get out of that little 250R. I have freinds that have Rs with 310 BB Kits and Cool Heads That will smoke a 450r anyway you look at it. 450r is a awsome quad too. Its all about how much money you put into one.

I race at Oklahoma sports park in ada. I just race novice class.
The guy that is leading the points in the PROs races a bada$$ 250R Now i do not know how much money he has in it. OR what he has in it couse he will not tell anyone.
I just hate to see a good quad get put down or any quad. I mean if you have it and you like it and have fun with it its a good quad.

 

250's aren't fast??? Wow I must have been imagining things all those times I was riding mine.

 

I will add more pictures of my uncles "R"(the one in picture #8)... Mine is fast but his is faster. His is set up more for drag though. Extended swingarm and such. Mine is a 310... His is bigger and newer built.

 

short race=450.
long race=banshee.
Any questions?

 

Yes, I have a question..... So how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop????
