duneblazer Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 hey guys, just bought the latest 'ATV action' Mag in Australia....not sure if you get it in the states??? Anyway, on pages 48-51 there is a story and pics about this bloke who bought a banshee for $3500 which was a piece of shit, tore it down and blew a bit over $20000 on building it back up. and let me tell you its still not that great....compared to some of the insane shees on the HQ. i mean he still hasnt cut the front fenders.... haha Alot of the new gear is from ALBA, Cascade and a few shops in Aust! Some of the major mods that ate alot of his money: -stuff from alba-- port and bore, 6mm stroker crank, pro design cool head adonised black, 19mm big bore domes, VF3's. 34 PJ carbs, boost bottle...lol, ITP Baja rims and Holeshot HD's, Nerfs, a-arms, axel, steering stem, Elka dual rates, and a shit load of carbon fibre and billet stuff from alba and cascade. -Hella Rallye 4000 compact xenon lights $2000 -gears adn case studs $2000 and thats just a bit of the stuff this bloke spent his money on! just thought id post this up and tell you! i think it is a lot more expensive to build a bike over here in Australia, especially a 60hp banshee with all the bling on it. if you can get this Mag over there check it out for the whole story! duneblazer Quote
BenBB Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Jeebus two grand for lights?! I bet the freight from Alba was a purty penny...sounds like he was just trying to spend the most money possible... Quote
yfzdunejumper Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 I saw a you tube video talking about the "20K banshee". I guess that is what they were talking about. Look it up and let us know. If it is the one I'm thinking about it wasn't that impressive. I could build a faster one with more bling for half that if that is the one. Quote
HammerShee99 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 sounds pretty gay. I agree. A faster shee could be built for half what he probably paid for all that shit. Quote
jamebo Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 We get that mag over here, I'll check that issue out next time I'm in wal-mart. That is a lot of money.... Quote
flyhighprerunner Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 I wanna see what this thing looks like! Quote
mdhc500 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 $2000 for lights = stupid... Nuf said! Quote
MarineNYC Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 You should write into the mag and tell him about us. He would hang himself after seeing the shees here. Quote
LiftdT4R Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 Damn, you can build a hell of a Banshee for 20k. I'd like to see this thing, doesn't sound impressive going by the description. Quote
duneblazer Posted August 3, 2008 Author Report Posted August 3, 2008 haha in reply to all you guys....your right what a waste and trust me it aint anything special! it looks stock almost! and i bet its hardly even that quick...compared to any of the shees on here! i didnt kno ALBA did porting anymore??? Is it any good??? i agree if he came on the HQ and had a look he would be spewing.... for raw banshee power and speed, $20000 could build a pretty desend dragbike right??? expecially if you dont worry bout some of the shit this bloke spent his money on! i suggest having a look at this mag if u can to have a first hand laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and OMG wat a dick!

XxMeltIcexX Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 $20000 could build a pretty desend dragbike right??? Coulda put that cougar 4 cylinder motor in his bike for that, and more... Nothings going to touch that beast damn... Quote
HammerShee99 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Is that a Ricky Stator I see? :yelrotflmao: Hope this guy's ready to dump more money in that thing when (not if) his stator screws the pooch. Quote
