rox10h Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 hey guys have been browsing the forum for a while taking info in all summer about the shee, have finally found one i like on eBay thats sensibly priced. however, ive noticed its got dep fattyy pipes and tail pipes, and the plastics are not standard and i believe are classed as 'cut' or 'Mx style' (tiny front fender) and white wheels. so yeah, can any one tell me how im supposed to tell the year of it? im a bit worried about buying an older banshee but its at a price i cant turn down and looks mint! the owner belives its a late 90s model. if this is so, anything to look out for with these? im scared of buying it and fear it needs a top end build or somethin drastic! appriciate all your help in advance Irfan Quote

NYUK Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 it looks pretty clean, like he took care in the resto, the only way to tell the year is the 10 th number of the vin. Quote

rox10h Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Posted September 22, 2010 yeah i thought it looked pretty dam clean and in good nick too, form the pics of course. well i bit the bullet and put a deposit on it today, so the guy took it off ebay so he dont sell it to anyone else. the guy said he was still unsure of the year, but was told by someone else it was a late 90s one as it has an earlier frame shape? oh, and has anyone had any experience with a DEP exhaust system? il be picking it up saturday, wahoooo! wonder what its gunna feel like coming from a friends CRF450 mx bike which ive used all summer, & the only quad ive ever owned is a ram 170 back in the day lollll. cant wait!!!
