Cotton eyed Joe Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 From what I've seen, aftermarket adds little to nothing to the value. If I was to trade mine in, the person buying it might not want an orange frame, or plain T-5 pipes. If I was to trade something in, I'd take everything after market off, and keep it to sell later. Why not just get another bike and keep the banshee?? I hope to have my stable up to 3 this summer. More if I can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hey Scott, Iceman72 PM'd me a weak or so ago wanting to trade a 2004 model for my shee. I believe it's pretty loaded up from what I remember. Might PM this guy and see if he may be interested in a trade still. Always worth a try.

BansheeJen Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Man you better get hopping, cause it's gonna take you a month of weekends riding and some mods to get comfortable racing it you slow poke! Come over to the dark side my brother.... You get many bites yet, you know if you stripped it Gainesville Powersports takes trades now. Might take a look at YFZ Central for used ones for sale if you wanna go that route also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

. Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 You guys crack me up. No joke. I've really tried to push myself hard for this race season, and I feel I could be more competitive on a 4 stroke. Not for the power, but for power delivery. As smooth as the power is on my banshee, it's still not like the thumpers. Maybe you're running the wrong pipe if you are not liking your power delivery. Maybe you should look into getting a different style pipe....*cough* *cough* "LRD" You dont get much more of a 4stroke delivery from a pipe....plus it has the screaming top end that a 4stroke will never give you in those straightaways that your making your time up. They are a major torque pipe. If your looking to get a 4stroke, it should be for the geometry you'll never get from a banshee style chassis.....and a nice 250R chassis would take care of that. That guy on here is selling one....hey, with 250R geometry....and LRD pipes. The only way if I were you that I'd give up on the banshee is if it was limiting what classes you could run in. Just the style of the banshee in woods riding.....you have to make up your time on straightaways....and your fighting like crazy in the tight stuff....and it wears you out...... So why not get something that you can still make up time in the straightaways....and still kill in the tight stuff. I'm kind of in the same boat as you....I dont race....but ride incredibly hard recreationally....basically race training I would say.....and only way I'd get rid of my shee is to get a 250R geometry one.....now adding on a yfz would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
