Currently, nothing. I have had a banshee in the past as well as a blaster. I rode a raptor and was pretty impressed, but I'm all about the 2 strokes. -Scott

Top speed, rated HP, etc...just looking to compare them to other models out there. In comparison, would there be better bikes out there for the money? -Scott

Yeah it's not like it matters that much...I am in MA. I'm looking online now with prices and stuff...I see the variance of price depending on geographical location. Guess it's just like cars. So where can I find the specs for that particular year on this website? Or should I just do a google? -Scott

So the value of these bikes has gone down? I had one when I was younger, but it was brand new and servicability was not an issue. I don't want to pick up a heap of shit and then have to keep dumping cash in to keep it running. How much are these 01+ that you speak of? I have been looking around and I see some ensane prices being thrown around. -Scott

LOL I am not sure of your intentions, but I am not looking to get it bought out from under me. What does it matter where I am located?

I am looking to purchase a used banshee within the next week or so, but I am reluctant to do so since I lack the common knowledge/terminology to establish whether said purchase is in fact a sound choice. The bike of interest is a 1996, new plastic, seat, fmf pipes, power core, silencers, dg bumper, bandit tires. The dude wants right around 2K give or take. Mind you I have not heard it run, nor do I know it's maintenance history, but from the way the gentleman spoke of the bike, it would be surprising if it hadn't been treated well. I guess my question is...what would you guys do? Does anyone know of inherant problems of that manufacture date? Or any qualities that would make this bike a good buy? -Scott
