I am Looking to "Step up" from the current level I am at and buy a totally tricked out Banshee. I am an all around "duner" I am not much interested in Shooting the Hills or hanging out at the sand drags all day, but I like to ride and ride hard. I am considering buying this banshee and the seller tells me it can be a good all around banshee but I think its pretty much set up just to shoot hills. Can I get your guys opinions? Thank you sooooo much. Here is the link

From what I can see, that thing is set up to go in a straight line as fast as possible. I might have a different definition of "all around duner" but I like to jump, hit some trails, chase each other across the dunes, as well as race up hills. I think that bike is made more for racing then anything else. One thing I noticed is the length of the axle. It looks narrow. Narrow axles are good for racing because the shorter the axle the less flex it will have when launching in a race. I don't think jumping or trails would be too much fun on that bike. However, that is just my opinion. If you want something more "all around" I would say keep looking.

Yep, looks like a drag or hill shooter to me.... A +4 swingarm is ok to dune with, but not a +6.... If it has a drag axle then its like mine and its made of aluminum. You don't what to do any jumping with that axle. But it does look like a sweet Banshee, a little over priced maybe......

 

Thats what I thought as well. Thanks a bunch guys, have a geat Thanks Giving!!

 

When you do find one you like, make sure you come back and tell us what you bought...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I have a nice banshee already, I just wanted a Jaw Dropper. If I could get a $20,000 custom bike for a deal, and it suited my riding style then i'd grab it. I just wansnt so sure on this one because of the axl and +6 swing arm.

Thats cool.... You could buy that banshee and sell or trade the axle and swingarm for a different one.
