    Is this the trike for me?

    My buddy built this 185 and I think I'm going to trade my Banshee for it. What do you think?

    your a fool to trade a banshee for that trike. trade for a 250r or 350x, not a chopped up repainted 185s chopper trike. but hey maybe your banshee is blown up and done then then its a good trade.

    if your banshee is ratted out and just a parts bike do it but in all in honestsy thats chopper is a pos 185, built for looks, no suspension your banshee will kick its ass even if its only running on 1 cylinder

    i dont like the chopper point of it. if its a nice banshee then dont trade for anything less than a 200x. im not a big fan of costom jobs like that. maybe if it was a real clean 185, thats in original condition i would. but we need to see the banshee first

    No way would I trade a banshee for that. Maybe an off brand pit bike. I actually just did trade an off brand pit bike for something called a snow bug. Looks alot like that but its got a ten horse Sucemsuh motor on it.

    The thing isn't gonna be any fun on trails. Its just for looks. But I don't know, Florida is mostly swamp so maybe you won't have to turn much? I wouldn't trade.

    I seen the build Post when that 185 Chopper was made. I think he did a good job with it. Basically its what your comfortable with. It may not be a Trail rider but it certainly turns some heads and you won't soon see another one! If you are both happy with it go for it, it you feel there's a value difference ask him to throw in some cash or maybe parts for something else?

    We need pics of the Banshee. Personally I would not trade but if you will get more use from the 185s then go for it.

    Well the banshee has had a hard life with me it was my first freestyle bike. you may have seen pics from Quads Only three years ago.It used to look a little something like this! but not any more. and I don't jump anymore so I'm looking for something to just have fun with.
