Sure it is.

I bought mine, a 97 black/red, full set of dirt and sand tires, fmf pipes and a few other things for 3200.
Great condition, too.

Ive had it for about 8 months, put MANY MANY hours on it and if I gave it back to the previous owner, he wouldnt be able to tell I ever rode it.

Compression is the same, starts on first kick every time, never overheats no matter what I do, ect.

Good bikes.

what problems would you get in banshee -- what problems would you get in raptor 660.
(my response from another post)


Raptor will probably be trouble free for a long time.

But so will the banshee. Ive had my 97 for about 8 months, put many many hours on it, never a single problem, it has never overheated, (even in hot glamis, or hot ocatillo)
never fouled a single plug, still starts on the very first kick every time, (except when cold, then maybe the second kick[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]).
Basically, this bike has met my reliability satisfaction better than any bike I have ever had except my current KX500 from 93, (just as reliable), and I had a brand new 400EX that was obviously very reliable)

My banshee is as trouble free as it could possibly be. The plugs have never been out in the time I have had it.
Oh yea, When I am at Ocatillo wells, (desert near glamis, but dirt, and lots of rocks) I often putt around in first gear, and even rock climb the damn thing. A VERY slow pace.
It has never overheated or even hinted at overheating, or loaded up and fouled a plug. I suppose the jetting is SPOT on.
