150 mph banshee!!

Also why would he trade for a quad that needs carb work if he can't fix his. Good luck my friend. My advice would be to take a compression tester and check the vin.
 
I was planing on taking a compression tester anyway, I will ask him for the vin and see. I believe Dover is half and half, some places are nice and some places are run down. I will have to speak to him on the phone first before I go to him.
 
Also my dad will be be with me and he is a retired philly cop so that should scare off the guy is it is stolen. He still has his connections haha
 
Sweet. Well hopefully it works out for ya. I just built a banshee and have only rode it twice. NOWHERE near as good as a blaster in tight trails.
 
Never Owned/ridden a banshee, owned a 700 and heard the banshees are a little better. Hopefully the guys just an idiot and don't know his bikes but knows a little to know how to maintain them lol

Not to put ur trade down. BUT....

Like wife's said! There's only a couple reasons why people ONLY want text. Most common for Craigslist is stolen.

Also why would he trade a lesser value quad for his?

He's obviously oblivious to quads. He knows nothing about bikes and most Likely he had to look your blaster up to know about it. Witch means he would have probably got a Craigslist post and found out exactly how much they go for.

That being said...

IMO He's trying to get rid of this machine for fast and cheap ( or trade for anything) because

A) Its got a lot of problem. ( with this idiot it could be anything)
B) Its stolen.
C) Hes trying to make the deal enticing to people so they will come out and look and he can rob you. ( witch is quite a bit more common on Craigslist then you would think)

Either way I personally don't see this being a good deal in the long run.

Like wife's said take a comp tester, and your dad. ( maybe get one of ur dads " connects" to run that vin for u it would be the most accurate)

Make sure u take a GOOD test drive to... You don't want to inherit a whole bunch of other peoples problems.
 
O ya I know it happens all the time in north philly with the gun being pointed at people. I will talk to him on the phone and see. I want the banshee but I will not get screwed on it. And ya it does seem fishy, I buy quads all the time on craigslist.
 
sounds fishy to me but you never know I bought a banshee for $100 guy started to take stuff off to clean the carbs couldn't put it back together called me I was riding it in an hour or 2

Agree with 89, pics or you're lying I:I

Damn you got lucky

Checked Craigslist EVERY day, even twice a day. (have some money saved up too, that way you can hit up the cheap ones I:I)

There was a 06 blue blaster by me with an LRD pipe (non-adjustable) for 600, guy said no problems. It was gone in 4 hours. I called him at about that time and no answer, next morning it was gone.

Ya I hear you. I do and that's why when I saw this ad I was shocked.
 
He will not send me the vin of the banshee so I will not go look at it. I will not take that chance.

Well I figured he wouldn't send it. The only thing that confuses me is that he put a picture up. Most people won't put pictures of stolen bikes on cl
 
Maybe. If I had room in the garage I would go take a look at it and have the numbers ran. What was his reason for not sending the vin?
