About time for me to get my first banshee and im glad my car is about to be payed off so now its time for me to focus on my dream of a banshee.

I have never really gotten a straight answer on this so also can some people give me some info on the costs of building one from the frame up? (with mostly used parts of course)

Anyways should i save up 3k and find a half decent used one or build one from scratch

I went ahead and bought one ready to run in excelent shape with mods on it for right under 3k. He also gave me all the OEM parts, spare quarts of oils etc. Like you said, it took a while to save but in the end, i was happy. I was even more happy once i rode it. I never road or even heard a banshee till i test drove the one i now have before i bought it.
