IlikeCEREAL Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Im looking to start investing in a banshee. I want a hillshooter that flys but still want to be able to have fun in the dunes. So im wondering where to get started? should I buy look into buying a new banshee or should i buy the chasis and build it from top to bottom? Ive always ridden four strokes but have always wanted liked the two strokes. Any advice would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06specialedition Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Welcome to BHQ! Buying a chassis and building it from the ground up is a great option. You would be able to set it up exactly how you want it right then. BUT, there are alot of great deals on complete dune/hill bikes right now. Look around and check prices. I bet you would be less money just buying a complete bike. Check out the "for sale" section here, there are always complete bikes, frames, motors, top ends...anything you need! -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMoe Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 You will spend 3x the money building it yourself vs buying one set up. If you got 15k or so to blow I suggest building one exactly how you like it. It depends on your budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren400 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Buy one already done. Change the things you don't like about it. Going to be alot cheaper in the long run. There is alot of good deals on banshees right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheeryder21 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 LMAO!!! My bike is exactly what you want. I have a very fast duner/hill shooter built by Kevin Herr (www.herrjugsracing.com). look at my sig. give him a call and he will set you up. I reccommend buying an older stock banshee on CL for about $1500 or less. If you can find one that has T-5 or T-6 pipes and you can sell them for a good amount to buy some Shearer pipes from Kevin. Kevin can build you a motor for pretty cheap. And his builds will beat any competitors CC or CC guranteed! You can probably get away with a really nice duner/hill shooter for $2000-$2500 if you do it right. Not bad. It's awesome when a $2500 banshee dusts a $6000 four stroke.
