trailboss250 Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Well i might be getting a banshee. My buddy is getting a YFZ this spring, so i need something larger than my blaster. I was flipping threw my local auto RV and found a 2001 Banshee for 2,600!!! I have always wanted a bashee and now i might get one. I would probly sell my blaster for 1,200 or so. So that would give me about 2K to spend on a banshee. Plus i have tons of blaster and truck parts so that would give me a good $2,500. Now the big problem. Parents! My parents hate the idea of me spending money on my quad, rather than my dodge. My dodge is about perfect right now (performance-wise) And now i want a bigger atv with better brakes and more power. Any ways to talk my parents into buying a banshee? I told them that they have alot better brakes, and has alot more power. They dont understand that my blaster is getting too small for me. So what should i do? Thanks..... By the way..I am 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stroke_addict Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 that is a tough one to answer, i guess i'd try to talk them into it, cause you have to obey your parents no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss250 Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Well, i bought the truck for 6K, off my dad. He bought it for 11k and drove it for 2 years, then i bought it.And i had to sell alot of my aftermarket parts off my blaster to buy it. I know i need to obey my parents, but my blaster is getting to the point where it is way to small and is getting dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 10Gs in mine, kinda stuck now i guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Just buy it, that's what I did when my wife told me she didn't want me to get one. I showed up one afternoon with the banshee and there really wasn't much she could say.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss250 Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 (edited) but you'll probably put more money in that than in say a yfz or z400. What do you mean by that? I plan on leaving the banshee all stock. I dont care if i can beat a YFZ or not, i just want to hang with one. Or is there a better choice to get something else for around $2,500? I love 2-strokes and never want to get a 4, but i dont know, might end up getting one. Also, how reliable are banshees? what kind of maintence do you have to do to it? And i wish i could just buy it, but my parents would kill me if i did! they would probly set it out by the road for like 1K and let me suffer watching it be sold.

Ryda85 Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 so you sold alot of blaster parts to get your truck, now you plan on selling more blaster parts to make up the difference in the banshee cost? man how many mods did you have on this blaster? also...if i were you i would look into a warrior or something more trail friendly. i never heard of someone running a stock banshee in the woods... just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss250 Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Well, i dont plan on modding it myself, but if i find a modded one thats fine with me. And i have rode a warrior and hate it! way to heavy for my likeings. But i sold my aftermarket parts to buy a truck, But when i sold the aftermarkets, i asked for there stock parts in trade. so i still have alot of stock parts from when i first started modding my blaster. I am pritty set on a banshee now. The trails i ride are maily wide open. But i need to know, how reliable are they? and what kind of maintence do i need to do?
