News on a 2008 Banshee

Hey guys, I just got my new dirt wheels and in the first few pages they are saying that you can by a 2008 banshee in canada. It sounds legit to me so if any of you banshee lovers are out there and want a new one, go North apparantly.

yep this is true, if only all the 4 stroke idiots realized it was only our beloved usa, that didnt sell them, they all think "banshees arnt made anymore because the new 4 strokes are better"..
im not a big fan of the orange they have on it though

Yah but I heard somewhere that if you were to say drive to canada, buy a new banshee and drive back with it that you would have to pay like a import tax or something like that. Anybody hear of this also ?

Maybe they are talking about Canadian currency.

personally, I think its a waste to go and buy a brand new banshee off the showroom. I mean there are thousands of used ones out there for a quarter of the price and are just as nice.

lol i got out of that import tax thing when i bought my R, because right when the guy at the boarder asked about it this thing went off saying, alert alert alert, so he goes pull behind the building park between the two white lines and stand in the marked square, and then some guy came back with thiis big yellow box and starrted like scanning the car with ita nd couldnt get it to work, so he told us taht for somereason we set off the radiactive alarm, so the guy just says i dont know how to get this thing to work so you can just go, lol so that probly saved me a few hundred bucks
