everybody makes a big deal about a 08 or 09 shee.. i've ridden an 08 shee.. no big deal.. funny thing about banshees.. once you take the plastic off.. both my 97 both my 98's and my 03 look identical to an 09... it's nothing more than BNG.. that 08 plastic is about impossible to get in teh USA though.. my broer wanted it BAD for his 4mm duner setup i'm building him.. yamaha dealer tried for 3 weeks.. never could get it here...
