250r chassis/banshee motor

[jst]

I saw this on ebay a while back and am now interested in doing so myself.Has anyone on here ever done this or have any info on this hybrid?

just build one like mine. Lonestar made a few of them and I think they still might build one for you. It uses all Honda 250r suspension geometry components and then you install a banshee motor and plastics. Here is a few pics of mine.

Loboboy: How does that chassis compare to a 250R as far as handling? I would love to get one someday, but prefer the 250r handling vs banshee.

[loboboy]

it handles as good as if not better than a 250R. The chassis has the same suspension geometry as a 250R but it runs a banshee motor. What lonestar does is they take the lower frame rails of the 250R to start with and then they build up from there with all the mounts for the banshee engine and plastics. I use all Honda parts on the suspension, hubs, brakes, axles wheels and everything. The only parts that are yamaha is the engine components, that is it. The rear suspension is a Lonestar no-link which IMO is by far the best out there and this bike turns on a dime at any speed. If you can hold on to it, it will turn any corner you want as fast as you want to go.

I esentially have 2 of these one (in the pics) that has a 7MM stroker and another setup with Desert suspension that has a 4MM stroker, both bikes make over 75hp and are a blast to ride. The 7MM stroker is getting ready for fuel injection on E85 Ethanol since I am tired of paying 10 bucks a gallon for race fuel the E85 has the same octane rating as 110 race fuel but only costs 1.60 a gallon. A huge savings on operating costs and I actually gain 3-7% HP and torque across the board.

The that starts on the pole is a 250r chassis with a banshee engine (runs the race in 3rd)

Seems to do alright at flattrack, the owner says he woudnt have it any other way, just seems like alot of work to me.
