Here's a little story for ya.
My buddy recently traded his '01 Warrior for a '99 Banshee. Bought Warrior brand new shortly before I bought a new 400ex. Also has YZ450F bike (wow!). Hardly rode the wheeler since I got my 250r. Found a goofball to trade him straight up for an equal condition Banshee, stock motor.
The Banshee is fast and a total thrill to ride, but 100% rides like a brick. Haven't had ours head-head yet, since my motor is apart, but I'm still really likin' my 250r.
So my buddy calls me today after work and tells me he found another guy at work who was selling some of his son's old 'shee parts. Literally bought a truckload of stuff. DMC 916 2-into-1 exhaust with spark arrestor seperate-great condition, AC Pro-Pegs, nearly new, pair of jetted stock carbs with twist throttle, Duncan quick change clutch cover ready to bolt on-new, extra stock head- milled for compression, factory plastics, stock bars, stock tires & rims, reed spacers & cages, boost bottle, headlights, levers, cables, airbox with pro-flow kit, factory shocks all around, and a host of other goodies....
Guess how much? $350....for ALL of it!
I thought M'F'er....just when I thought I had a chance! But hell, can't knock a deal like that. Now I guess it will be a faster brick.
