Should i sell my 300ex and buy a banshee im 16 years old and been riding for bout 2 years

 

What type of riding do you do?

 

Id say yes, but it depends on a couple things, If u have the money, and if ur ready to make the commitment to buy the banshee, i would do it if i had the money and everything.

 

Its going to be a huge step up from the 300ex to the shee. The power comes on way different, and your going to have alot more power with the Shee. If you feel you can afford it and your parents dont have any objections I say go for it.

 

yea if you got the money and you can avoid killing yourself go for it, the shee is a totally different beast.

 

That is a decision you have to make yourself EXRydaH I had 2 300exs a '96 and a '98 thought they were the best bikes around til i got my 400EX and same thing happened when the yfz came out but yeah a Banshee would be a big step 300 4stroke to a twin-cylinder 2 stroke.

 

The reason i asked what type of riding he was going to be on, was to see if it was the quad for him, i didnt take that into consideration- I wanted my banshee! A banshee is definately a step up from a 300ex, I did it, and if i can do it, i know you can, because my 300ex is the same way was when i got the 300ex, and with the mods you have listed, you should be able to adjust better than i did, and it wasnt even all that bad for me, O well GL.

 

make sure you can afford the top end rebuilds .....

 

go for it

 

The rebuilds are not that bad and often if you stay on top of your bike.

Also be carefull when you first ride a Banshee, it is a major step up once piped from a 300ex. I just had a friend nearly kill himself as he test drove my friends Banshee, he is experienced and normally drives a Raptor but was not used to the difference in the two. He ran into someone at high speeds as they crossed paths as I saw the whole thing, there is hardly any engine braking on a 2stroke once you let off the gas unlike a 4stroke that starts engine breaking right away, on the Banshee or any other 2stroke it just keeps going the same speed so using learning the use mostly the front brakes stopping along with rear brakes becomes much more important than on the 300ex.
