I got an 87 banshee that needs a lot of TLC from new plastics to new new wheels. it is all cosmetic work. is it worth putting the time and energy and $ into making it a make over, or putting buying a newbike??

 

That's up to you. Here's the deal with Banshee's though(or any quad). Once you ride it, you will want to modify something, performance, looks, tires, suspension, whatever. You already have this one and the only difference between yours and an 06 is the J-Arm instead of A-Arms(and BNG). Cost wise in the long run it will be cheaper tor ebuild your current ride than buy a new one. The only problem with that is you won't be riding it for awhile probably. Buy a new one and restore the 87!!
