JasonsBanshee Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 You won't find many people offering $7,000 for a Banshee these days. I'd say the value is what it is worth to you. If you're going to buy a newer one and build it the same way I'd pass on the offer. But if you are going to take a totally different direction on a new one than I'd say go for it. So the big question, Is it worth $7,000? Technically speaking, yes it is but will you ever get it? Not very likely. What's $7000 break down to in USD?

locogato11283 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 damn, thats a lot of money for a used bike these days. i guess you have to think about how much you like your bike and if you were going to buy another one, what would it cost to set it up the way you want it? thats the thing really, buying a newer bike isnt really going to matter since they are all the same. if youre just going to hop it back up like the one you have now, id pass on it and im sure you will be money ahead.

esterelbanshee Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Your Banshee is my favorite as well. I'm envious for sure. If I were you I would run away with the 7 large as quick as possible before he changes his mind. Go on Lespac there are some new unsold Banshees from 08'. Start fresh, have fun. TIGIDOU.

Infamous039 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Go take a look at your youtube videos then ask yourself if you want to sale your bike. Your bike is also one of my favorites. The only way I would sell it would have to be a family emergency where I needed the money, but just to start over on the same machine HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL NO. You have to remember a 1996 Banshee and a 2008 Banshee is exactly the same bike just different colors. Be smart about this situation and keep your awesome bike, that you have put a lot of money and time into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulvafan537240 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 im with infamous on this one. if you sell this one and buy a 08 you wont have hardly any money left to mod it. if you like the 08's just buy new plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'll regret my choice if I saw my banshee in others hands... how much do you have in the bike? Approximately 15k... I think he must smoke too much dope lolol Thanks guys for your ideas. I ride banshee's for 10 years and I think its will be hard to change my mind and sale this shee... Thanks again and have fun with your banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
