Keep the DS and keep the reliability ...

Sell the Banshee, you can ALWAYS find a banshee for sale...

 

well if anyone can find a shee for sale please please p.m. im in desperate need of one right now im looking for 2000 or newer mods or no mods, thanks

 

it must be getting harder to decide, now that you have our thoughts on it maybe it would be easier to sell the kid, actually when they get a little older they are fun to take riding.

 

New baby...hmmm...probably better keep the kid till he/she's 18 at least. I've gotta buddy that has owned the same shee since 1989 and would sell his nuts before his "baby"....of course I've only had my DS for a little over a year and you'd have to be nuts to think I'd part with it. That's a darn tough decision indeed! I'm biased...you keep the shee and you're nuts.

 

the ds will last alot longer than the shee.... you want a machine that will still be running when your kid is old enough for you to take him or her riding right??? go with the ds [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Well I own both and love each bike for what there worth to me.

I dont think you can say the banshee is less reliable or wont last as long. Mine has been working great for me since day one. And a few buddies have got some real high milage on theres.

But I think when it comes down to it you will want to get ride of the Banshee.

The DS is just a better bike. The Banshee is a killer to take out and play with, but lets not forget, it uses about 4 times the gas that the DS does, and it also is a kick start and your DS is electric. THe Banshee also has a poor outdated suspention compaired to the huge springs on the DS. And the DS is a faster bike (if you care).

Its a hard desision because as we all know the banshee's 2 stroke is in a leage of its own. It makes power diffrently and requires a diffrent way to drive.

Ask yourself. Last year which bike did you ride the most. And thats your answer.
