My banshee

[DDQ]

Here are a few pics of some of my past banshees and the one I own now (black plastic and yellow/purple plastic. I picked up my atc as a pit bike. I ride all over the country including little Sahara Oklahoma, Hatfield McCoy in WV and I try to race at least one MX national every year.
I switched from 250R's years ago and have never looked back. The banshee is hands down the better machine for every type of riding.

I have a 98...they are total piece junk in stock form....after a lot of fixes and swaping better parts, gusting the frames weak spots them they are good. My 98.

I wish I would have bought the 2006 in the Yellow anniversary colors instead of the 400EX. Would have still had
the Banshee today.

Too cool.
I could almost say the exact things.
I race 1-3 atv mx nationals a year including the Glen Helen mx national when they had it, been to Glamis 3 or 4 times, Lil Sahara, Silver Lake, Hatfield/McCoy, AWORCS, 12 hours of ATV America, and countless miles of local riding.
I'm just finishing a frame up rebuild on my beloved 250R. :)

You think they are junk in stock form so you spent a lot of money on yours, gusseted the frame and are still running stock shocks?

Um, ok.

Were you by chance a member of atv connection or atv scene many, many years ago?

[oldskool83]

I just hill climb and trail ride. Don't need expensive shocks for that. I had the rear shock rebuild for my weight at somee point i may put different shocks on the front. I removed all eletronics no needed on mine and relocated all my wires up front under the nose. Anti vibe stem, eccetric carrier, 83 250r hubs and rear honda wheelers were some of the upgrades that made things a lot nicer. Also gusseting up the sub frames and stock frames i could use bend them by hand. 07 YFZ450 frnt master cylinder and stainless steel 1i nto 2 peice lines greatly improved the funky front brakes but the best thing i really liked was 2015 YFZ450 foot pegs i modified to be a bolt on. I also increased the 8mm bolts to 10mm bolts that bolt them on.

Why?.....it's not forsale.

DDQ, really enjoyed the pics there, that superman looked like it was real fun. Is that cabin at some sort of ATV ride park?

I also have to agree with Xhumeka - love the purple/yellow plastics. I have a low hour 02 Banshee in blue that I bought many years ago, any earlier than that is pretty hard to find here in Aus but I always loved some of the earlier colour schemes.

Equally though (IMO), the 2011 Banshee's have a great colour scheme too. I may have to pick one of them up before they get much older and people molest them to death.

Man you are lucky to live in Australia, for all the normal reasons (beaches, awesome weather, etc) AND the fact that you can still buy banshees brand new!!!

The cabin is at a campground in the Hatfield McCoy trail system. It is the largest trails system in the country.
