Skidmark Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I like the idea of doing something that has never been done to a shee before. Personally I like this alot better than running out and buying fullbores like everybody else and posting up. jmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupelx Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 its different becuase of its motor, and is the reason peaple buy it. otherwise they would buy a 250r. you bought your banshee because of its plastic and looks if so your a real fuckhead. You went too far there. I was on your side until this little post. I like to see people do something different from what everyone else does. Theres alot of people here who are not like that and will do everything they can to make everyone follow the same path. I have too wondered what it would take to put yfz450 plastic on my banshee, however one of the reasons i bought my banshee was because i liked the different look. Sure its got a great motor to go with it. You have managed to shoot your own dick off rather than just ignoring the haters and keep doing your own thing. Flame on! edit: i think fullbores are ugly! /flamesuit on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trail rider Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 man this is one of the biggest dispute threats i've seen; some people hating it, some people liking it, me personally i like it, cause it gives it a change , even tho i still think a banshee looks badass the way it is. yea and thats true some people buy it for the looks, some buy it for the motor , but i don't think people buy it for the handling, if you wanted handling you'd buy a 250r, but then again thats why they make after market frames with a 250r geometry. Anyways I think its original because people have already swapped motors in both machines but i have never seen this swap take place. I give you 2 thumbs up for a good swap job. oh and i love that 250 blaster that thing looks so badass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justintoxicated Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Looks like a 2010 banshee :0 I kinda like it. I would not be able to cope with the 450 seat myself. One of the best thigns on the banshee is our seats are damn comfortable lol. But there is not much you could do about that I suppose. But you job does not look 1/2 assed or anything like that. I like the classic banshee look, but there is no way in hell that fulbores are ugly. They fix everything yamaha screwed up with the stock banshee plastics (uneven on the sides, need for extra supports, and the flimsy quality, no rivot holes to hide etc, access to radiator). Hell fulbores even have rubber gromits where the bolts go through the rear plastics. Unfortunately they fall a bit short as far as the fit of the front plastics.

MIKETHECOOLMAN Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 the banshee is already no longer made in the u.s. of a. but that doesnt mean that it is old technology. if people buy a used banshee and put suspension upgrade on it. first it will cost less then the yfz and it has so much more potential. people who want a relativly fast atv will go out and buy the yfz but people who want a relativly fast atv that can be built into the fasteds atv will buy a banshee. in my opinion the banshee will live for atleast 20 more years. my opinion of the plastics is that they should be updated buy the problem would be finding something that fits it right. i dont realy like the big gap near the rear end. but hey its your atv.

Well banshees might be good technology, but it's definately old technology. But in 20 years you can be like these are the kinds of motors we used to run, Used to cook them up and fry them by the dozen, back in the 70's (Banshee motor is from the 70's....).
