Bought a banshee yesterday guess what happened and what's going to happen
 
I was just letting everyone know that I have wanted a banshee bad for a year now. Well I finally got yesterday a 1998 banshee with all the goodies no smoking no nothing just a beautiful fast banshee. Well long story short that thing broke me and broke me for good. In 5th gear wide open in my field haulin as I hit this berm that I ride my other quads and my bikes out on and I hit my front brakes just a little with my rears and the front tire turned and dug in flippin me end over end a bout 4 full rotations. Broke my upper a-arm and one front shock and of course destroyed those junky msr handlebars. I guess I'm not even going to fix maybe part it out or sell it as is. I was just letting everyone know about my experience with the banshee I've wanted forever

Sounds like a bad wreck. It's good that you are ok, but if the banshee is what you have always wanted, then why are you so easy to get rid of it?

I agree, if you all ways wanted it, KEEP IT and fix her back up and just be a little more cautious in riding your quad. I have done that 3 times now plus all kinds of other roll overs and I still have all mine!! Hang in there buddy and you will enjoy it even better!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

One of my friends crashed his Banshee right after he bought it. It is a huge change from a 4 stroke, you have to respect the power. I would chalk it up as a learning experience and try again.

Really it's that I spent all my money I've saved for it and those parts are kinda expensive. I love the speed and it's way mor aggressive than the lt The money is more of a factor. I'm taking pics right now to post

I think its actually more dangerous to have a slower bike and then move up to a banshee than it is to start on a banshee. If you start on a slower atv, you will try to ride the banshee the same way you did the old quad at wot. If you start on a banshee, you will respect the power from the start, or at least after your first scare.

I can help you out.

I have the A- arm, shock and a aftermarket handlebar that I will sell you to get you running again. They are all off my 2000 Banshee which I am upgrading the suspension and rebuilding. They are in good condition. You will be riding in no time.

Holla back
