Looks nice. Hard to find some bikes these day's in nice shape or not all messed with. Just keep an eye on the left rear fearing and the left side of the handle bar when sitting on the bike Looks like the bike might of been rolled. But the stock bars aren't very nice either also check if the steering stem isn't bent just encase. I'm guessing the bike is out the States sense it's advertised as a 2007. Simple mods: Compression: Do head mod or billet head set it at about 140-150ib compression sense crank probably still stock. Intake: just do a nice set of V-f orce3 reeds Timing advance: advance your stock one or do a nice timing plate pro design are very nice and the original ones made FMF Pipes are Ok for now. I like Toomey T-5's out all of the pipes for stock cylinder banshee's for all recreational race use $4200.00 US Dollars or 3,200 Euro not too bad if it's really clean just tuff to tell in the pics. Also seem like some pitting on the front lower a-arms so look at the under the bike to see if it just isn't all beat up from rocks and things. Sand banshee's are the cleanest ones to get if that option was available sense they never see rocks, snow or mud. best of luck and I hope it looks and sounds as good as it seem to look like.

KickStartMyHeart Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 That one looks pretty nice....almost like new. Once you buy one that is bone stock Im sure you'll get the itch to make it faster x2!! First thing I said to myself when I bought mine was make it dependable and be done. LOL! yeah that didnt last but about 1 trip to the dunes and it was game on time. That being said, I put 4 different engine setups in mine in one year and finally happy with what I got. Buuuut Ill be happy for another couple trips and back to the drawing board on going faster. The bike looks super clean man! I wish I wouldve shopped around more for mine, but I wanted one bad. The only thing left from the original purchase of my banshee is the the engine cases. Evertything from the the bearings to the frame is all new. Quote

Just keep an eye on that grab bar. See some nicks in it. See if it ain't been flip or wheelied hard. Besides that looks like a clean deal or if not better. Quote
