Glad to hear your not just a brainwashed Banshee fan. Don't get me wrong, the Shee was and still is a viable quad. (Shear numbers) But a properly built 250R is a thing of beauty. Most of the "race" quads to this day use very simular geometry to the original '86 TRX250R. Until Yamaha introduced their 450, the 250R dominated ATV racing around the country.
