Ok, well I am going to be buying a new quad soon and I was thinking about buying a Banshee, Ive always wanted one and I thought id give a 2 stroke a try over my 4 strokes that Ive only owned. Right now, I have a 400EX.
Anyways, I went to the dealer and they had this really nice Banshee for sale with a lot of aftermarket parts on it. Its an 02. I asked for a rpice and they said come back another day and we'll talk about the price, etc. So I am going to go back tomorrow or some time this week.
The type of riding that I will be doing will be trails, hill climbs, crossing a few shallow creeks (1-2ft max), and some MX. Would a Banshee be good for me based on the type of riding that I will be doing as long as it is set up right? Also, any tips on how to maintain a Banshee so it will last longer and run better? With normal riding on it, how often do you think Id have to rebuild the top end? As far as MX goes, I will only be racing on the weekends for MX. Any more tips on Banshees at all?
Do you think I will like the Banshee based on my riding type after I learn how to ride it right and get used to the 2 stroke power? I dont want to buy it then not like it and sell it right after I buy it. Ill just have to ride it and see for myself.
Here are a few pics of the Banshee at the dealer. How much do you think they are going to ask for it? (Estimate)
