Huh? You already own the shee - you're ahead of the game. I drop some coin and turn that thing into a 400+cc monster.

2 strokes are bad the guy that had the shee befour me really messed it up it was always ridden drunk the engine is fine after a little tlc but the rest is crap like it needs all new plastic new shocks tie rods sporkets chain i could go on and on. you probably think why did i buy it cause i got it for $1000 cant beat that.

giggles.........

Been there done that.........and plan on selling my 400cc Vitos big bore banshee and getting a Yammy YZF 450 to replace it with.......sure the banshee rules the dunes, but really sucks in the woods especially if you keep it buffed and polished in true dune shine like I do.

the 'shee is an incredible machine, but its like a F1 indy race car.........they need to be pampered and cared for, while a 4 stroke thumper can be ridden on a wider variety of trails, yet are just as fast except for maybe pure drag racing.

Is it worth having a pure bred race horse of a banshee if you only ride the dunes 4-5 times a year? It used to be, but not for me anymore.......those YZF's are pretty darn fast!

400cc Banshee, dyno charts showing 62 h.p for sale in Seattle. $5800, fully dressed out with T-5's and works suspension and too many mods to list. See it in my gallery pictures for a pic of it and P.M me if seriously interested.

Sell your Banshee and buy a slightly used 03 then do a mild +4 setup on the engine and ride and be happy!
