chris642 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 hey guys, how much do you think i could get for my shee? i know this sounds like a newbie post, but i want other peoples opinion on it. as you may know, i recently bought a kx 65 to mess around on. since i really never rode dirtbikes, this is really going to be an experiment for me. if i really like bikes, and am pretty good, i may sell the banshee to get a yz 250. the mods are in my signature, its an 03 bought new in July. selling the shee would really be a last resort thing since i dont want a beat up bike. when i think about it, im not a real mud guy, i like going fast, jumping, and having fun. dont get me wrong, i LOVE my banshee, its fast as hell and very fun, but bikes are so quick, light, and agile. here are some pictures. i know i can get a sweet yz 250 for like 3000 on ebay or even around here in the want ads, so if i sell the shee and the kx 65, i may still have enough money left for a nice banshee. i wouldnt mod it beyond pipes and graphics again, very expensive im not making a decision untill the summer so its not like im making any rushed decisions, i still gotta get better on the bikes first i really dont know what it would be worth, if you asked me, it would probally be way to high. i need your opinions! thanks alot!!

stclark816 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 I think ur crazy! I wouldnt sell it.. It's too nice of a banshee and you wont get what you want out of it. I think you should keep it, save some cash, and buy a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H250RHATER Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 not too break ur stones or anything but when u get a 250 dont expect ur self to ride like that because ur not gonna its gonna take years of practice to ride like they do i had a bike and even to get down the pattern of when to hit the brake in between whoops and bein able too keep the front out of them is hard but those clips were killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 (edited) Depending on your size, you might want to try a modded 125 first. A 250 with a pipe, and a rad valve will fly, its WAY faster than my stock banshee. They are super fun though, I've been riding for about 4 months now, and I get really frustrated because I can't wheelie or clear 85 footers, or rail berms, or fly over whoops. It takes a lot of practice, like 250rhater said, but they are definately fun. Try to get one that has been taken care of too. They also feel way high compared to a banshee. And ATV stunter, youre not too big for a bike, my dads friend is 6'6 and wieghs about 270, he FLIES. The modded 250s haul balls.

ellison445 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hey chris, once this snow melts we can finally hit Jersey city and you can ride the KX 125 I have before I sell it ,just to get a feel for that type of bike..If your looking to start racing and jumping, a 250 is going to be way too much for you trust me. I have owned a couple of 125 and about 3 250s. The 125 is much easier to throw around. The 250 tends to get from under you some time, and one mistake can cost you big time!! PM me and we can talk form there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
