When I was 15, right before the banshee came out, my Dad bought me a 1972 yamaha rd250 to run around on his 50 acres. The banshee motor was based upon these bikes, It was a two stroke with dual carbs, twin cylinders and dual pipes. I think he paid fifteen dollars for it. It took me awhile to grow a set of balls to get on it, it had a bad point on one side so when you reved it up, the second cylinder would kick in, one hell of a ride when that second cylinder started working. I finally fixed it and had the fastest bike around. She finally broke a shifting fork, the frame is still laying around, motor is long gone but the memory is still fresh. Those memories made me buy a banshee and I have no regrets. Makes me feel like I'm fifteen all over again.
