Well sold my 99 banshee after all that was done to it. Anyways my dad has one with all the same shit done.
So after is sold the shee i bought a yfz450. This thing out of the box is fast as 2 thousand dollars put into a banshee, but it actually handles bumps and turns. I raced my dad and beat him by 4 bikes easy, so we switched and then he beat me by 4 bikes on my 450.
I like banshees but the new 450s have got ball like i didnt even expect.
I do trail riding so the swith was needed for me, but if i did dune racing and other straight line racing i would take a shee.
