I was reimspirered to do this hybrid. I just did the YZ250 swap and rode it for a few months and pulled the motor and sold it and have been doing my own banshee hybrid.
Airtie got me back on the banshee bandwagon with his build

here are a few sneak peaks of mine

Get job on yours Airtie!!!

I have my cylinders at passion racing getting a 12 port mild dune port. as soon as I get them back i will be assembling the motor and it should be done. I have custom inframe drag pipes and have made some center mount toomey style silencers that are mounted under the seat.
we are estimating this thing to put 73 hp to the ground and 91 at the crank. I have lighten the frame alot by removing all of the old unused 450 motor brackets. With the YZ250 motor it weight 240lbs wet and stock it 368lbs. I think this one will be more like 260 or soo.
it is a full duner and has super beefy suspension and should be fast .

Damn, airtite and duneryfz you guys both have two of the nicest hybrids I have ever seen.
