I would check it over real good and go by only what you see. He doesn't seem to know much about engines. I see some tell tail signs in his add that leads me to that conclusion .

What type of riding at you planning on doing? I have owned a banshee and unless you're going in a straight line there heavy and tiring to handle in corners. But the price definitely ain't bad, that would go for around 3500-4000 here considering its good condition.

what demon said mate check it over real good as the guy has dropped the price a fair bit so there might be something up with it. normally in the uk the banshees sell for £2600. so im guessing the price hes dropping it to in my money is around £1500 which is hell of a low price for a banshee.

What the SMURF is an FMF air breather? :-/ 8-| Check it close, prop up front and back and check suspension closely, chain/sprockets. Do a comp test 125 is good, ask for proof of port work. Remember tha Banshee carbs are near identical to Blaster, ask what size they are. Unless it's real clean/nice it's nothing special, IMO.

Agreeing with Larry and Demon, FMF air breather?????? He says it comes with the OEM parts and HE just took them off, he doesn't sound like he knows much about it. Anyone who just forked out the cash for FMF (assuming it's the exhaust), Uni filters and bigger carbs would know what he bought. Those are some big ticket items, around $1000 for carbs and exhaust. If I spend that much I would sure be able to tell you all about it, but I'm married and my wife never lets me forget things like that.

no its got stck pipes. the fmf breather is actually an fmf boost bottle if im not mistaking

RED FLAG First thing that goes on a smoker is pipes You have linc to the add? Now I doubt the carbs and "porting" even more. Keep in mind that Banshees can be at least twice the heartache and cost.8-|
