Default does this sound stupid?

I rode my friends shee the other day and I love it..........
I was thinking that I would go back to my dealer and see what I could do on trade.........
so I talked to him and he has a NEW 02 shee up there that he said he would trade me even for........

would it be stupid for me to trade my 03 rappy with some mods for the 02 shee.........?

let me know what you think!
thanks for your help

I think it would be a bad choice. I raced Mx on a shee for 2 years. And i think the raptor is a much better bike.

I think it mostly depends on your riding style, cause the two are totally different. I like my banshee over my friends modded raptor.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I would never do it, but its not my bike. If you would rather have a Shee then I would think it would be a good deal. Its all in what YOU want!

i don't mx race or anything........I live in a small town so everyone that has quads just rides on dirt roads......and the police don't say anything........

it would mainly be dirtroads and paved streets.........

with a little bit of trails inbetween........

would a rappy still be better?

Sounds fishy.....a new 02 Banshee? They sell for about 6K retail....it can't be worth over 5k now IF it's new. So....the question is what will you sell your bike for?

Much better design and way WAY more reliablity. Trust man dont do it. Stick with your raptor.
