bignasty1 Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 yeh sounds like bs. tell them its slow when they are stock and horribly under powered compared to other bikes. or tell them you want the new yamaha 450 and make it sounds bad ass and start bad mouthin the banshee and comparin it to the 450 and keep tellin them you want the 450 and when they break on that then be like nah i want a banshee i would feel safer on a slower machine.

bronco91shee Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Kid, not to dampen ur hopes, but i didnt start ridin a shee till i was 16, and ridin for like 9 years. Im not sayin u can't, but i know it would be dangerous to put me or my friends on at that age. But i dont know how u ride. My ? is, have u ever ridden one. B/c i rode my dads when i was like 15 and it scared me the first few times. But when i got my own at 16, it was ok, then like a few months later, i was already lookin at goin faster. Its just my opinion, but i would hold off for a few more years. I have riddena 250, and it is way different. Its all up to u. Have fun, and deffiantly buy one on time. Peace.

teamriot Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 You need it, no problems my 15 year 0ld son 5' 11" 210 has a modified shee and loves it to death, our other frends have kfx-400, 700 yfz-450 so we ride with pretty fast company. The bike is only as fast as you push it, be wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fel0n Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I just turned 14 and I weigh 130 and I can handle my Banshee fine. If your 210 pounds then u should have no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badcompany Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I started ridin my cousins drag banshee when i was 12, raced at 13 and won the banshee class 1 month after i started racing. Im 14 now and ride better than most of the people at the track, and turn better times since im only 115 lbs. Before the banshee i had only rode my polaris scrambler 500 for about 9 months.

bronco91shee Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Hey yall, i can ride just fine. I am the youngest one in my ridng group, and i still keep up. I was just taught to look for my limits. and to respect my machine. Plus i got a bronco that i have restored all off of a part time job. w/ out my truck, i would have made a killer shee, and i would smear ur asses. But hey, we dont need fighten, so if we ever meet, well settle it the right way. Ps. the first time i rode his stock(at the time)shee, i was draggin and kicken a lot of ass. I had never ridden it b4, but i was beatn older guys, some of them had some sweet toys, one was even a racer. so ha. But, like others sat, u gotta know ur own boundries, stay in them, but push them too, u learn stuff bout ur self that way. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeleymaster99 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 if you know how to ride at all you should be able to i've had my shee sence i was 12 and i'm 14 not and and 109 pounds and i have no prob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronco91shee Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Great, good for u wheeliemaster. U r the shit. I should bow down to u. W-e. I was just given my input. And if ur so fast, y not race and be the best in the country. If ur 109, how do u handle 70+mph, it gets light up round that speed? But thats not what this site is for, so i'll admit u proly r faster, but if i had more money i would be faster too. My parents made me buy my quad and pay for everything on it, so i dont have a lot of spare money after i pay my truc payments, ins, cell phone, quad payments, and everthing that breaks along the way. All off of a part time job. Sorry, but i didnt get handed one like u did. Peace yall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Age has nothing to do with it.I know some younger people that can handle a banshee better then a lot of older people.Only you know your limits,and if you feel good on a banshee then go for it.

bignasty1 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 damn bronco ur kinda full of your self aint ya. all the kid was sayin was that he was only like 109 lbs and handled his bike i dont think he was tryin to undermind the fact that u paid for ur shit he was prolly just givin another example of you dont have to be a big guy to ride... i paid for everything i got and i dont go tellin everybody and their mom ya know alot of ppl on here pay for all their shit and if he got his bike handed to him them what ever ya know thats his bisness(sp) he didnt say he was the greatest cuz his parents bought him a bike or if they did at all did he?.
