I agree doc. but you are right and the price of Banshees, even this, is down. I'm not sure what he actually wants for it, but I know for sure what he doesn't want for it. It's a nice piece, the trouble is that alot of new bikes handle as good. I am a Banshee nut, and something like this is to me what Yamaha should have built from the start.
I kind of think he might just be fishing to see what it's worth to buyers, which is cool. It's hard to put a price on limited production machines.
Does $5000 seem like a reasonable offer?
