DallasGDub Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Then why ask? I say it sucks bc it is a 250. My friends son has one, he is 13. It is the same size as a 450, without the power. You are going to get a mix of reasons. Find a YZ website and see what they say about it. In the end, fuck what we say, it is your bike. Do whatever.

Hibnecker1 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I agree with everyone else that i wouldnt trade for it...

bansheesrtoys Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 it is an 04 and no he don't beat the shit out of it but at the same time he don't ride like puss. and your on a banshee website its very unlikely anybody is going to say they would unless they were going to to. go to a dirt bike site and they will tell you to do it. and they would say get rid of the shee. i know because my freind started on quads,went to dirt bikes and now he doesn't like my sheee as i don't like his dirt bike.

gotta_goatsfast Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Dude just trade it or keep it already. lol, there has to be 4 or 5 topics pertaining to you selling/trading your banshee. If you don't like the bike atleast you have $1000 head start to buy another banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisJL Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Something doesn't look right with the way that bike is sitting... could just be the camera angle... I would recommend saving some money and buying a bike verses trading... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 No dirtbike guys posting yet? I like dirtbikes and probably have 100,000 miles on 2 wheels. If I were getting a dirtbike I'd get a 250 and the part about it being a 2 stroke vs 4 stroke is preference. I hate riding the 450s they just feel like heavy tractors to me and I'm 6'2 and 225lbs. The 250 4 strokes are pretty high maintenence and need new pistons, valves, springs etc put in em pretty frequently. The piston is a pancake design without much skirt so any wear and they'll rock and blow the motor. If it were me I'd take these guys advice about getting a 250 2 stroke, the hondas,kawis, suz 250 bikes are close to 50hp stock and are light and are a blast to ride. They can also be found cheap. I'd do the trade especially for $1500 and then trade the 4 poke for a 2 stroke and get another $1000 out of it. I think you are getting a $1500 dirtbike plus $1000 cash for a $1800-$2000 banshee which isn't too bad of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerzy609 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I wouldn't trade for anything but a 450 4 stroke or a 250 2 stroke.even though you heaven't done much ridin on a bike after a month or two your going to be wanting more power and kicking yourself in the ass for trading your shee. i have a bike 250 kx 2 stroke thats for sale on e-bay.mint curtgraham73@yahoo.com. your right about tracks thats why i have that bike so i can go to englishtown raceway!!

DallasGDub Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Radar knows what he is talking about, and offers great advice. One post you want to get into racing, the next post you say you are not going to beat on it. You cant do one and not the other. The 2 stroke is more power, lighter, and cheaper to race and beat on it if you want. Why are you not wanting a 2 stroke? Sounds like you can not afford the up-keep on a 4 stroke. You both are asking to much for your bikes IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasGDub Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 dallas ovbiously im gunna race it im just not gunna gost ride it and do stupid shit to it..... Not really sure what you mean. I was simply saying racing is very hard on a bike. You said you were not going to be hard on it, but you wanted to race. I say get a bike you can afford to fix if you want to race. They all need to be rebuilt no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 a 125 2stroke is ALOT of fun. just the right size to learn on in my case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
