I've heard nothing but good about the frames.

Um, you must have a screw loose to throw a banshee that high in the air.

Im not partial to the banshee, I also ride my 250r hard.

And here I am the same day test riding theJester1340's moto.

There are some nice movies of you on myquadvideos, am I correct ?

I have had one engine cradle crack due to stress. It's getting welded and reinforced.

You are correct.

Do you have to pull the motor to get the engine cradle welded? I know anything that "can" or "might" break is going to.

no you do not have to remove the motor to get the cradle fixed.

not to burst a bubble but if you are breaking a yfz or honda frame on jumps like that you are flat landing it, or you suspension just sucks, yes the cannondale frame are the strongest frame out there but you should not break a properly gusseted yfz, honda, etc frame jumping it and if you do you have bigger problems as you will most likely not walk away

I never said I broke a yfz or 450R frame. Ive never owned either machine. I have broken a 400ex, banshee, and two 250R frames. I do not flat land. If I flat land a 100+ ft jump I pobably wouldnt be riding anymore.

stock 250r frames are horrible and 400ex are not bad just need gussets, if you crack or break a aftermarket R frame you are gonna be hurting yourself, the cannondale frame will hold up to your abuse, so will a properly gusseted 450 frame, and having the gussets in the right spots also helps lol

I think Jess & Dale was just comparing frames in general.
