What up bro. Best advice I can give you id find one that is in good shape. Banshees have been around for ~ 20 years so there are some REALLY shitty ones out there. Look around, and find a nice one at a good price, then jump on it. They are very good bikes IMHO, and are a blast to ride. Parts are cheap, and they are easy to work on. The biggest headache that I hear from most newbs is Jetting, but just like any 2 stroke, stay on top of the jetting and carbs, and 90% of your problems are gone. Good luck bro, and there is a ton of info here.
