Fre530d Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hey guys, I am looking to buy a Banshee here in Belgium. Now I found a nice one from june 2005, so it's quite new. It has some nice options : Renthal steering wheel Nerf Bars Nice rims FMF pipes The price is also high, about 8425 dollar :baseball_w00t: Thats 6600 Euros, but the ones from 2005 are the last ones with homologation so you can drive on the streets with it. So my question is, he claims the bike is from 2005 but it has some strange colors, is it possible that the bike is actually a 2005? Look And what kind of FMF pipes are those? Any good?

dalegoldston Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Easy Fred dont be an ass. If you look at the title it will have the year. That all he is saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipebomb Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) looks more like a '96 to me, but it could be an '05 w/ the plastic swapped. old Banshee plastic is a dime a dozen. just look on flea-bay http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/banshee/color.aspx Edited August 26, 2006 by pipebomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmcbanshee Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Rear fenders looks like white 06' and maybe he just changed fenders :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinner Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Like what woodro77 said, check the title/vin number on it and it will tell you the year. And as said above as well, the plastics could of easily been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fre530d Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 And the black frame, is that possible? The guy told me that he bought the quad like that new in Juin 2005. THX for the answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THX for the answers Possibly an '05 LE with plastic swapped out. :shrug: It's a nice lookin' 'shee nontheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeRider71 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 The plastics were definitly swapped out for others, and those pipes look like FMF fatty's with power core 2 silencers. I have rode a shee with fattys and they are good all around pipes and they sound alright too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Faster Cracker Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 i dont know man those headers look like gnarlys. as far as the year model look at the vin# tenth digit or letter. once you figure out what it is call your dealer and tell them and they can tell you. a 1995's 10th digit would show the letter "S". post on here when you find out what it is and ill let you know what year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 'em on my shee. Not bad if your just an average rider, but soon to be replaced. Flat track time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmcbanshee Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Sorry for the offtopic but those tires look sick, who making them?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighty Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I think those are the same tires i am running. If they are those are innova road racers. Really hard compound, i abused those badly and they just wont wear out. i do have a bit of unbalance in one of the tires. on the year: there should be a sticker right under the seat. it should be a 4 char number like this: example: (5FKM) I dont know the number for 2005 models. but i'm sure we can come up with something. enjoy!
