sredish Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I'm ready to make the move from the banshee to a yfz because I'm becoming more serious with racing. I love my freaking banshee, but it just isn't what I need, so I have to be realistic. I've only raced it twice, once before the rebuild and once after with no ill effects whatsoever. I have 10 grand into my banshee. It's been ridden 3 times since it's frame up rebuild. End of October and early November, I had it down to the frame, gussetted and powdercoated. I also replace the top end, which is the first set of pistons I've put in. It starts first or second kick every time. 160 lbs. compression Click here for my "Rebuild" pics folder. I've ridden it in the sand a few times and it hangs with them all, no probs, but haven't been back since the portwork. It's an extremely nice duner. Front a-arms are +2wide/+1 forward, rear axle is +4 wide overall and the suspension is totally friggin awesome, second only to long travel. I have different sets of front springs to help dial in the plushness and they can be changed in 2 minutes. My mods are as follows: 2002 Banshee w/ clear title Powdercoating Gorr woods port Wiseco Pro-Lites Trinity CV 35mm Coolhead-20cc PT Mids VForce Reeds PD timing plate PD Impeller & cover lightened flywheel Dyna ignition Ricky Stator 200w Hella 500s Elka piggy fronts/rezzie rear LSR +2/+1 A-arms LSR rear hubs LSR +1 Stem Durablue +4 adj. axle -1 Custom swinger/CEJ carrier ASR Heim tie rods Denton stabilizer Douglas Ultimate Beadlocks (front and rear) 20" I-Razr/Sand Skates Galfer lines PRM bumper/grab bar/full skid DG nerfs EBC Dirt Racer Pro-Flow/UNI Tag T2 bars Moose handguards Billet stator cover K&K quick-change clutch cover & more shiz, I could keep going, but hard to remember... I'll be selling locally for $6,000 take all, everything, paddles, back up front Baja wheels/I-razr fronts, dyna ignition, everything. I'll sell it the same way for $5,500 on the BHQ. Also, I'll sell it for $4,500 w/o the Dyna ignition, f&r beadlocks and baja wheels/tires. Quote
H250RHATER Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 im thinkin of doin the same thing in a year or too or i might just save up keep the shee and buy a yzf Quote
tats4life Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Good luck Scott.....I'll sell mine for $4500 and I'll ship it. Quote
dlnoss Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 I've thought about selling, but if I can afford it, I'd like to keep the Banshee and get a 450 also. No other quad feels as good as the Banshee when it hits the power. Good Luck Scott Quote
iceman Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 You don't want to possibly part it out? Like the handlebars and clamps...please... Quote
sredish Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 No parting out, and I'm in no hurry. I'm gonna keep riding and making the races. If something pops up, then I'll bite, if not, then I still have a really nice machine to ride. I really don't foresee anyone on the net paying that. It'll have to be a local sale or a trade to get what I want. And I doubt I'm going anywhere. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 good luck with the sale scott, you got a nice banshee, but the markets really bad right now, i hope ya get what you want out of it Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 you aint gettin rid of shit. you just like comin here and stirrin up shit. you are too weak to sell your banshee. just beg and plead with your boss(wife) and see if shell let you get a yfz450 as well. the loss you are gonna take on that banshee isnt worth it. you can get a brand new 450 and make monthly payments on the bitch at 3.9% financing. oh yea, if by some chance you do end up parting it out you must consult with me first as there are parts i want.

Wallrat Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Buy the wife the yfz. That's how I convinced mine into letting me get both. Quote
H250RHATER Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 6800 is alot for a quad well thats how much it is around here 8000 w/ everything factored in Quote
sredish Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Posted January 31, 2005 6800 is alot for a quad well thats how much it is around here 8000 w/ everything factored in 314542[/snapback] I'm confused as to where you got those numbers. I'm selling it for $5,500 on this site. I'm selling it locally for $6,000. I'm also selling it for $4,500 with out the items I listed in the first post. If it doesn't sell quick, I'll be replacing a lot of the aftmkt pieces with stock pieces and trading it in. Then selling those aftmkt items. Quote
