Ride that 3 wheeler or it will ride you guaranteed. Thank for posting video i enjoyed more than you know if ya even read my post? lates, Coop 92,93,94

skojo3e you can fall off anything if your riding it right 😂

Honda is made in JAPAN not US...........

Right? I got an 85 big red 250

Fuck yeah me too !

Heaven on earth yes

And then some buddy👍

TheMikel302 Hell yea brother!!

I come from a high performance outboard engine background, but I can absolutely relate. That two stroke cackle breaking through the calm, the smell of race gas, or alcohol and Klotz is euphoric.

@@Resistculturaldecline that klotz.....best smelling thing on Earth pretty neart lol.....if it where actually eatable, it smells like it would go great with pan cakes and sausage links lmao.....brings back sum of my favorite memories....

@@Resistculturaldecline those shee's are absolute screamin demon's.....I had a 97 dune port, dialed right when I was 18.....won't none of these modded 4chokes pull like a 2smoke twin lol

Lol... Broke down in the end... Ill take the 250r anyday

Me too pal time to turn the page and start a new chapter😅😅😅 good luck to you

You're lucky 2 be alive

I had an '81 250r. I loved that bike. Other than skinny trails there was no place it wouldn't go. Should have bever sold it. Keep looking for another I can rebuild. Oh yeah, I'm 58 and still want one.

The banshee rider was either holding back or he sucks

@@andrewserrano921 you've never riden an "R" then...banshee is a nice quad but that old school honda clearly quicker then the yamaha

The honda was no stocker, yet I can bet all that banshee has got is a set of pipes, and a k&n pod filter with no airbox lid, the very basic mods. If it was stroked like the 250r was, it wouldn't be so even.

The 250R was nice it was quick but that writer on the banshee kept letting up, you can see that the banshee was catching up to it like nothing but then he would let up. I guarantee you the banshee would smoke it, I used to have 2 banshees they are fast they are 350 twin motors the Honda is a 250 single cylinder so it pretty obvious. And when I had my banshee I had a cool head with 18CC domes Toomey T6 pipes K&N filter and v force reeds and my banshee was scary fast.

@@rayv882 read the description

Nothing like a good 2 stroke I love mine I have a 2001 Yamaha Raptor 660R Yamaha 600 twin 2 stroke snowmwmobile engine a 2000 Polaris Trail Boss 325 Yamaha 570 twin 2 stroke snowmwmobile engine everyone calls em our homemade Banshee's we ride silver lake / Bundy Hill's / St Helen exit 222 we have a place in Baldwin Michigan and up in Lake Station Michigan Crooked Lake awesome riding about a block from the cabin

arborcidal maniac i love hondas myself, but i also think banshees are cool, honda should have made their own big 2 stroke quad i think

15 mph x4

They were going way faster than 15 mph

The way it should be..... they were safe, didn’t bother anyone and no one hassled them.

seashackf1 yeah, I mean, that’s what I would have done 😂. I’m going to be getting a crf250r soon hopefully

All fun and games till Michigan dnr’s long dick of the law finger bangs your wallet. They don’t play or give out warnings.

No doubt ,he's scared! That banshee would eat that three wheeler in a quick second! My buddy has one and he's done a few things to it and all I can say is that it's a beast! A few of the things he's done! A big bore kit, boosts bottle , extended rear and more! Those are just the things I know about! I have seen it eat crotch rockets! And jump over my head too!

@@ericmcginnis9413 you obviously haven't been around too many R's... I mean, BEHIND them... 😂😂

@@Kenny_K2323 no but I have been in front of a lot of different models while riding a lightly modified banshee! Also I stand by what I said in an earlier comment, banshee's are beasts!

@Todd Spikes agreed

@Todd Spikes your bikes trash...... gets smoked through trails and top speed rins.... is it for sale... yea ik my machines aren't going anywhere either

I agree. I had a modded 86 200x and it handled better than any 4 wheeler I've had since. You just have to learn to break the rear loose when turning.

Yea but you can steer any 4 wheeler with any power the same way. If you can ride either with any skill they are both fun. 4 wheelers just don’t make you work as hard for the fun. If I want to put in the effort I ride my 86 350X or my 85 250R. If I want to have a few beers and screw off I ride my 04 450R. If I want to get hammered I ride my 2011 Sportsman 800 and let it drive for me. On the streets I run my 86 Yamaha XT600. There’s a machine for everything. None are inherently better than another. Just have to pick what fits what you’re doing.

@@buckbundy8642 absolutely, buck. Can't go riding without a few beverages. Ha. Sometimes we do more stopping on the trails and drinking than we do riding. Where abouts do you live in PA? I'm around 2 hrs northeast of Pittsburg. You are right about the riding everywhere 20 years ago also. Bunch of bullshit now. Luckily there is still a good bit of riding grounds here in Jefferson county; nothing like it used to be though.

mike fini we’re practically neighbors! I live in Elk county! About 3 hours northeast of Pittsburgh! 😂

@@buckbundy8642 oh, no shit? Where you at in elk? Lol that come on vacation leave on probation comment made me laugh. That's a Jefferson county joke as well. Jefferson county is a fucking joke.

Haha!

Herman Sanchez that sucks how did you do it

Haha bike

Chobes25 rear axle broke and flipped

Thats old school for ya...

And forget to say I was only 9 😎

Umm yeah a 250 r. 3 wheeler

Except the 350

@@danyelmoore5266 dude the 350 is no comparison to the water cooler....

I had one and it was nothing but fun

yeah a 350r or 450 yam

Ronald Tartaglia Pennsylvania is the same. You could ride everywhere 20 years ago. Then Seneca Resources leased 85% of the state and made it off limits to hunting, fishing and riding. They press charges if they catch you on it. I can’t hunt in places I’ve hunted since I was a boy because of these assholes. There’s a new joke about Pennsylvania’s “cherished wilds” The Pennsylvania Wilds, come on vacation, leave on probation.

Also from mass there are some legal trails in Franklin and Plymouth as much as some mx tracks but nothing as cool as this.

@@ryanadams6180 Hodges Village Dam has probably the best trails in the state. Most other trails are beat to hell

I was just thinking the same thing here in Braintree MA....

Ronald Tartaglia tell me about it i live in the uk where everything is illegal

Ya, and you can jump without nose diving a tank! 😂😂

Until you ride down a steep, rutted out hill. I had a 200x that nearly killed me on every gnarly downhill.

That single front wheel sucks. The amount of traction you get on turns is trash. You can't always power slide around every turn and if there are ruts and you powerslide, you are going to have a bad time. They were super risky on jumps too. You pretty much had to land rear wheels first in a nice straight position or hold on for dear life. Quads give you a much more stable base and much better traction, as well as much better landing stability for jumps that don't go perfectly. They are also much better at dealing with ruts.

@@gametime2473 it takes skill to ride all ATVs. These ones require the rider to be able to cut the rear wheels loose and drift around corners. They aren’t unsafe, it’s the rider and their lack of skill or the foolish risks taken that were and are the issue.

​@@tristanrivers8674not at all. Unexperienced riders are dangerous.

Sound like a snowmobile

Almost sounds like a rotory

Thank you!

TAVIS JUDGE did you buy a Atc?

Me 2

Hanky Bannist8r No mistaking that two stroke potato potato. No doubt best sounding especially with a beautiful set of toomey t5’s.

Amen to that, I could listen to that banshee all day

350 powervalve? Wow i bet that is badass

James K It’s the scariest thing when you go check and it’s only running on one lol

Did we ask

Bad Donkey that 250R was handing that Banshee it’s ass.

@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 the point of this comment means if you like to ride hard, there is a good chance of you falling off, you just don't ride enough lmao

Flex Seal™ no its called talent and skill u dumb fuck. I started on a 250 and went to 500cc at 18 and never looked back.

Gsfbffx Pdhhdf ride some more and it’ll eventually happen. Best riders I’ve ever known have fallen off. Doesn’t take away from your skill or talent

Broke my teeth my thumb my shoulder and my ankle all different times 250ratc for life

I was waiting for someone to mention the tecate....great 3wheelers......from Wyoming USA🔫🤠🇺🇸
