i have an all stock 99 banshee and i love the hard hitting power but have had 4 strokes my whole life my question is if i could get $3500 for should i sell it and get a new 450 or is it worth it? Somebody give me some advice please.

 

Derrr.... we cant tell you what you want. Do you want fourstroke power and good handling, or the infinite potential of the banshee engine. If your going to leave the banshee all stock though you might as well get a YFZ.

 

Sell the 'shee get a YFZ. Banshee is the past, Yfz is the future.

 

why the crap is a 99 banshee still stock is what im wondering. stick with the banshee bro the mods are limitless you can turn it into whatever you want

 

by banshee is still stock because i just got it about two weeks ago and i am still paying it off. i bought it when it was still being broken in.

 

Keep it, ride it, then modify it in installments with the money you'll save by not buying something you really don't need. Don't get sucked into the status-symbol BS of a name-change.

 

thanks for all of the advice, i think i will keep it, i was just wondering because things are expensive i thought i would just try t buy a bike that is already fast. i road my friends yfz and it was fast but not twice as good as my banshee (twice the money). if anybody has any good sites for upgrades post them so I will know where to buy parts. thanks [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Rockymoutain atv has stuff for cheap and so does DennisKirk.

 

This isnt much of a two stroke forum if you catch my drift. Anywho, the biggest upgrade on a two stroke, other than pipes (which will make a HUGE difference) is porting. With the right porting and carbs and pipes you could see the better side of 70hp, but that wouldnt be the most reliable, so you find a good builder, tell him where you want the power and what kind of engine life your looking for and set him to work. Motor comes back and its a new beast which will probably make you wet yourself the first time you hit the powerband.

 

sell the shee and get a 450
