Yeah I hear ya, would have saved lots of money. Had an 04 kawi KFX400 with big bore, cams, air filter/ muffler and didnt impress me much. Bought a 400ex this spring for cheap and rode that a couple times, but wasnt for me. A guy at work talked the banshees up alot so decided on looking into them, and found a couple cheap modded ones, but ended up with this almost stock one from a local dealership. They sealed the deal by throwing in a whole set of new tires and lowering the price to what I was looking to pay, registered and all, out the door. Bike has been great, love the powerband and sound for sure. Sounds almost like a happy camel with stock pipes.
What year is your banshee and mods?
