julien Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 Hello, I am new in this forum and I am searching for my first banshee. My parent have a honda atc big red and a kawasaki klf 4x4 bayou but after a while it's boring to ride this. so I decided to buy a banshee. I saw this deal and I would like to know if it seem to be a good price for a 2006 special edition? What I am suppose to check before buying this? why it's called SE? Is it different on the original? check this link and let me know what you think about the price: http://www.kensyamaha.com/new_vehicle_detail.asp?sid=05271723X8K14K2011J3I00I38JPMQ1456R0&veh=21729&pov=2176507 thank you!

First of all welcome to Banshee HQ. You will find a vast amount of knowledge about banshee here. Give the search function a try, it isn't perfect but can be your best friend. If they are asking $4000 for what looks like a stock Banshee run away! Much better deals can be found on this site or your local Craigslist. Tell us more about yourself (location, age and what type of riding you want to do) and we will help you as much as we can. Welcome! Quote
06specialedition Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Welcome to BansheeHQ! That looks like a LE "Limited Edition". Black plastics...black frame...I think thats about it. If you look at my signature pic below, mine is a 2006 SE "Special Edition". Mostly just different plastics and what not. Yeah, 4K is a little steep IMO for that. Depending on your location you should be able to find better deals around. Quote
bansheesrtoys Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 it a dealer selling it thats why it soo much. i wouldn't buy it. You can get them with pipes for cheaper. And pipes r the first to go on a stock shee. try looking on CL plenty of great deals out their. for one like that with pipes around me can be found for 2k to 2500.oh yeah welcome to the site. Quote

Dicklez Posted August 15, 2011 Report Posted August 15, 2011 Welcome! Expensive. I can see the appeal in buying a bone stock quad. Especially if its in mint mint condition. But if you plan on beatin the shit out of it and puttin on all kinds of mods on, shop around. Quote

julien Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Posted August 15, 2011 thankk you everybody for your comments, that help me a lot. Im from the Maine, sorry for my english im in the border of Québec. I will keep searching in my local craiglist and on this forum for better deal. I dont search a banshee with a lot of upgrade but on who look stock and clean. I think if people modify a lot the banshee, they do race and beat it. I will use this atv on wood trail only. I will let you know and post pictures when the banshee will be home . Another question, is two stroke banshee run great in winter when it's very cold outside? thank you for your help! Quote

Another question, is two stroke banshee run great in winter when it's very cold outside? thank you for your help! to answer your question julien.....yes they CAN run good in very cold weather.....HOWEVER....you must change your carbeurator jetting in order to keep enough fuel running to your engine (which in a 2stroke is also your lubrication) or else it will cause your pistons to melt.

julien Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Posted August 16, 2011 ok thanks I take that in note! I went see it today and look in good shape with 120 psi compression. is that good? His last price is 3500 for an SE will try to get it lower. Quote
jonpeter0420 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 the good thing about 2 strokes is they are relitively cheap to rebuild and maintain. check out some of these bikes i found http://maine.craigslist.org/rvs/2513770862.html http://maine.craigslist.org/rvs/2535969886.html http://maine.craigslist.org/rvs/2544017203.html http://maine.craigslist.org/rvs/2540615431.html http://maine.craigslist.org/rvs/2528918562.html http://maine.craigslist.org/bar/2477368037.html http://maine.craigslist.org/rvs/2501205765.html if you bought any one of these bikes you could do a top and bottom end and still get it cheaper than if you bought from that dealership Quote
jonpeter0420 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 the special edition is just a graphix kit Quote
julien Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Posted August 17, 2011 thank you jon, I wil take a look this weekend! Quote
