For those of you that was not around at this time, take a look. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1157056311.html Banshee's power comes from way back!

deckheight Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I rode one around Las Vegas for a few years in the late 70's, no heat issues at all, trust me... Bought it wrecked from the previous owners widow. During the course of the re-build I ended up with practically the whole Racer-1 Cafe catalog on it. Very light weight and quick and handled like shit. One of the few bikes I wish I had never gotten rid of... Guy I sold it to also killed himself on it!!! Bad Mojo...

A few years ago I did a complete restore on an early 70's RD350 for a buddy of mine, it looked just like the RD in the Craigslist ad. I rebuilt the top end with a new set of Wisecos and its sounded great and ran great. He put around 200 miles on it before it melted the whole bike in a barn fire last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
