BansheeJerry Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 I have the street bike bug. I posted earlier about me thinking about a 250 ninja. Well to make a long story short I decided against the baby ninja. I now have my eye on a brand new Suzuki Marauder 800. Has big bucks worth of accessories, nicer seats,saddle bags,wind screen. The stealership has it marked down to $5,300. The bike lists for $6k bare and I guess all the shit on it is worth 7-$800.? It is a left over 03.They are gonna give me $2,500 for my shee in stock form and my payments are gonna be right around $70 a month. I dont know what to do. I am going tomorrow to pay my shee off ($4,000) and I hate to fork over 4k and loose 1500 right off the bat. I know I can put the good pieces off my shee on ebay and get a little but damn. I am not really worried about the money with trading my shee in. I am just having a hard time coming off my shee. My wife has no interest in riding quads and she likes the idea of me getting the bike so she can ride with me. Damn this is hard.... It sux being a working man...I wish I could keep my shee and buy the bike but I have a 23 foot boat as well and shit is getting expensive. I know this is a banshee forum and we all love shees but I am asking for unbiased opinions here. What the hell should I do? I love my shee but I only get to ride the shee maybe 2 or 3 times a month. With the bike I can ride all summer. Please people help me out... I am going nuts here..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 i would never get rid of my banshee. but if the time has come and you need to move on to bigger and better things cuz the wife says so, then go right ahead. jk. sometime people have to make choices when it comes to stuff like this. its hard for anyone to make the decision for you. of course we are all gonna say, keep the banshee!! but no one really knows your situation like you do. think it through, and in the end go with what you feel is the better choice.

BansheeJerry Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 I hear ya brugal, If I do that I will still have my $200 a month banshee payment along with whatever the bikes payment will be. I cant afford that. I have 4 kids, mortgage and a brand new van ect. As good as that sounds I wouldnt last a year with those payments. We all have to eat ya know..

BansheeJerry Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Also take in mind that I am driving around in a 1988 s-15 pickup. I dont have money falling out of my you know what... I would love a nice pickup as well but my truck is fine and if I get a new truck there goes my toys... I tell ya.. it sucks.. I wish my last name was Dupont or something. I wouldnt have to worry about this shit then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Refinance your house and pull some money out. You can get all the stuff and drop the 4K into a new truck. You'll be set for another 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignasty1 Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 look at it this way how oftern do you ride the shee? how much time during the yr can you ride the street bike v.s the shee? because around here its pretty much you get about half the yr realisticly to ride the street bike because of seasonal weather changes but i can ride my quad yr around. and do you really want the wife around when you want to go tear shit up and play? in my opinion you should just rid of the wife they are expensive and time consuming and there you go money for the bike the shee and a new truck. jmo. l8ter man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brugal Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Well I feel your pain Banshee Jerry.Keep the banshee pay it off and forget that street bike there dangerous.You never know what some dumb ass behind the wheel is thinking or doing.I lost two friends to street bikes because somebody in a car wasnt paying attention to the road.You got a beutiful family its not worth the risk!Ive seen alot of accidents on four wheelers none close to fatel.Just my two cents...
