this is a banshee seems to have alot of good stuff:

here is a 250r with goodies:

is this a fair comparison?  seems 250r prices are extremely inflated.  what do you guys think?  i could be talking out of school.

supply and demand, lots of banshee out there so prices will be less, hell even CP banshee cylinders are the same or cheaper than the single cylinders :(

either way its frightening a twin is less than a single.  well, with CPI and ESR it should allow the market to even out.

lol funny thing I noticed... The R motor is coming from Rauncho Cucamongo CA, home of overpriced s###. aka Bdt. So Ya it will be the same price. Not a bad price on the Shee motor. Might look into it

It always makes me mad when I see the availability of parts for the Banshee compared to 250r's. Guess that's what happens when you only make a quad for 4 years.

Total BS

Supply and demand as stated, just look at how many shees are out there.

P.S. if I am browsing ebay for anything 250r related and it has a bluw background I just skip right on over it.

Its one of the cool things about the Banshees, Yamaha gives you the rough draft and the aftermarket lets you build her a million different ways.  Its a lot of fun building a Banshee up.

it must be nice to get a twin cylinder cheaper than we can get a single.
