I would have taken any Banshees or ATC250R's off their hands.
Your old ass has no business anywhere near a 250r.
I'm 45, I learned to ride on one - I'd be more than fine. And my Banshee would eat a 250R all day any day. Slow roll and it would pull the front end in every gear. I put way too much stupid money into it and straight race gas was on the edge of detonation. Eventually #2 lower rod bearing decided it didn't want to be there anymore. Motor ate itself WFO in 3rd gear. Went from probably 9k rpms to 0 instantly.
