LiftdT4R Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 What are the pro's and con's to haveing a banshee? Pros- It's fast as hell! Cons- Hope you don't mind trying to jet 2 carbs. Also, somebody had a good FAQ on here about what to look for when buying a used bike. I'll see if I can dig it up. Welcome to the HQ!

ClimbAnyHill Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 The main concern when I was in the market was to make sure it was a green sticker. I saw a couple Banshee's Glamisdunes.com classifieds a while back $3500 to $5000 with everything on em. I think this one sold. http://www.glamisdunes.com/classifieds/detail.php?siteid=444 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 And what is a green sticker banshee??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 And what is a green sticker banshee??? You DMV registration sticker which is manditory in Cali. There's certain bikes/quads made green sticker which you can ride all year long. And there's Red Sticker quads where you can only ride during a certain season & think it's fall/winter season. Something like riding a Jetski in the winter. Makes no sense but maybe this law doesn't exist in your state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshtruction Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thanks 4 the info... I'm right over the RI boarder in massachusetts, and that green sticker stuff does not apply over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 The green stickers seem to only apply if you are in the great republic, er ah, state of California, the leader in emissions control. Even though when I bought my '02 the latest year at that time for a green sticker. They had the same damn motor in them that they put in them for the whole 19 year running record, well 20 if you are in Canada. Pro's - Permanent smile on your face that you'll need plastic surgery to remove, much easier to work on and cheaper to get more hp out of than a 4-poke. Con's - The more power you get will be directly proportional to the size of your bank account, which in either case will never be enough............. :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
