To recap:

The 660r is a good toy hauler
The Banshee is the best ATV ever
The 250r is better than the Banshee
The DS650 is better than the 660r unless there is a Banshee in the room
The 500 Quadracer is better than all of the above except a mod Banshee

...and if you need a used Camaro, Raptor660Rshee350 is the guy to see.

 

Just trying to help someone out and you get these noobs talking like they know stuff. Look at this BS "im 14 i ride a yamaha blaster it kicks the crap out of any 400cc atv the suzi is tough i lose sometimes. the worrior and the rap 350 are nothing just a big waiste of time. the only atvs i cant beat are rap660,250r,banshees,(trx,yzf)450. " Cant even spell for one thing. When i had my Warrior i never lost to a blaster. Hey buddy can you beat a Zilla? Predator,DS650, any Cannondales????

 

ok? here we go again better better better. They are all made for different kinds of riding. A ds650 is better than a Raptor? their both great quads it just depends on what you like for trail riding. Banshee is the best atv ever? not the suspension thats for sure. 250R is better than a Banshee? It might beat it on an mx track ok? but its not better..........ya and i am sure your cars are better than mine right? What can i say i like Chevy you got a problem with that lol geeeze man.

 

Easy. I was kidding.

 

well this topic has turned into one big argument!! I have desided on the bike im going to get its the 250r there great for the track and respont to modds really well i race alot of track and i also do alot of woods riding so thanks for the help! im getting the bike in like 2 months or something like that as soon as my fourwheeler sells right now then the r is mine cant wait

 

Good luck with the bike. Sorry about the arguments but thats the way it goes lol

 

The power to weight ratio of a 250r is outrageous. I hate to admit it but, stock I think it would probably eat my Raptor up. What was the last year Honda made them? It has been quite a few years yet, the aftermarket STILL makes gobs of aftermarket goodies for them. That is because people keep riding them because they are a proven performer. I imagine the Banshee will remain popular for years after Yamaha stops producing them. No matter how much HP you have, if your bike weighs a ton, something smaller will probably give it a run. For example, in the 60's, some Cadillac's came with 501 cubic inch motors yet, a Camaro with a small block 350 would run circles around it. Power to weight ratio is where it's at. With that said, if you really want your quad to run harder, lighten the load. You could start by cutting a leg off.

 

It looks like the 250r was made for 3 years, '86, '87, and '88. That makes an '86 model almost 20 years old. What a legacy!

 

and in 1989....4 years total for the 250R

 

nope 5 years the first one was in 1985 im pretty sure well thats what iv been told this is not coming from me but i think iv seen one 1985 on ebay so mabe
