F7 Possum Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 What year banshee do you want to stay away from? Or what one do you want to get, I'm not looking to spend 3 grand tho. Thanks Quote
NYUK Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 for under 3 grand in mi, you should be able to find a nice late model banshee. no particular year was bad. for 2,000 to 2,500 you can get one suspended, pipes, head, ect.try craigslist. Quote
F7 Possum Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 Ive been looking and found a few already at a good deal. Do you want to stay away from the J arms? Quote
NYUK Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Ive been looking and found a few already at a good deal. Do you want to stay away from the J arms? if possible. they are just really old. you really don`t want a 20 year old bike. unless you get a smokin deal. and are very handy with a wrench. Quote
lokisbuddy Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Check the northern michigan craigslist man there is a cheap j arm banshee with some aftermarkets for 15 it has a cracked case from the chain but nothing leaks. :biggrin: Quote
F7 Possum Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 Yes, I am handy with a wrench, I am looking for one cheap that needs some work. The problem is that they want 1-1200 for a junk one when you can get a nice one for 1500. Quote
F7 Possum Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 Didn't see the banshee you were talking about in Nrothern MI. Quote
payupsucka Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Yes, I am handy with a wrench, I am looking for one cheap that needs some work. The problem is that they want 1-1200 for a junk one when you can get a nice one for 1500. I agree wiht that. I got mine for 1500, it had only 60 hours on it, and now its got alot more. i love the banshee, aint another fourwheeler like it. When u get your bike what you gonna do to it. Quote
F7 Possum Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 do some powder coating to the frame and pipes. Thats why If I can get one already piped, I want to do some custom stuff to the frame and arms and what ever else over the years. I am not going to do it all at once just over time, I want to ride it to not just have it sit in the garage. Quote
broke as a joke Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I just bought a pretty darn nice 99 with a cool head and a hot rods crank for $1000, deals can be had, just be patient! Quote
Christada Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 My brother and I bought banshees within like a month apart.. I bought a brand new 2000 white and red and he bought a brand new 01 blue... He's still on the same top end.. I've gone through 3.. in the shop for 4.. plus my crank went out.. Stator.. CDI box.. I've had nothing but problems.. And he does the maint on his bike and mine and we ride the same amount of hours So I must of got a lemon or something It's in HJR's hands now though.. so im sure my luck will be better with it Quote
