Banshee_04 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I have a 04 Red & White Banshee with CPI inframes the bike is in excellent condition it looks brand new and is really quick and I have a title to it. My buddy traded his YFZ 450 for a 03 Banshee with a 421 cub 40 Kiehen Carbs vitos Hemi head and man the thing is fast but it is in nowhere near the shape mine is in and he wants to trade it for my Banshee. What do you guys think I should do. Overall the bike is in good shapebut mine is almost mint. You all think it would be a good trade.

LiftdT4R Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Ehhh, tough to say. You know you have a good running bike with 0 problems that looks awesome. Who knows what your going to get into with the new bike. Is it worth the risk? Also, what are you doing with the bike? Trail riding, mudding? If so, you definately dont want a cub for it anyway. If your dragging or duning, the cub will be a lot better for ya. Also, how well is the bike tuned/cared for? For all you know he could have had the thing running lean and its on its wya out now? Its really tough to say without looking at and hearing the bike. But he sounds like he has a good bit of money into the bike, which makes me wonder why he would get rid of it for a near stock banshee? Going on what little info I have, I would tend to keep my bike, and do mods to it over time. Half the fun for me is actually speding some loot putting the stuff on, and noticing the difference anyway. And you know you have a solid playform now to do that with. You might be getting somebody elses headache if you trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee_04 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 All i really do is asphalt drags and every now and then dirt drags i rode the bike and it is very very strong compression seems fine no problems starting fires on the first kick the only thing i have noticed is the clutch is very hard to mash. The guy doesnt have a title but said he would give me a bill of sell. And one other thing whats the chances of this thing being hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
