The banshee frame has probably the worst geometry and handling characteristics ever. I would NEVER use that frame as a basis for a conversion. There is a reason the banshee was never as popular as the 250r for racing.

On a side note, which honestly has NOTHING to do with my above opinion, are you looking to sell the banshee?

[bansheeguy]

umm im not sure yet the banshee needs topend stuff. it has some good parts and everything i would trade all of it for a good chassis for the rm motor thou

so u think that would be a good motor for a 250R frame? the RM motor is perfect condition and has a barnette clutch etc
so i wanna use it in something other than a dirtbike haha

I understand the appeal of conversions, projects are fun. But honestly, I think you would be better served to sell the complete RM250, and put that money into upgrades in the banshee. Or sell both, and buy a complete, running 250r.

If you are set on doing a conversion, however, I think the best would be a 250r frame.

eh ya stole my name :grr:

as for the conversion, it would be more hassle than its worth. like wilkin said, if you like neither of what you have sell and get a decent used quad for around 2-4k
