My buddy built this 185 and I think I'm going to trade my Banshee for it. What do you think?

your a fool to trade a banshee for that trike. trade for a 250r or 350x, not a chopped up repainted 185s chopper trike. but hey maybe your banshee is blown up and done then then its a good trade.

if your banshee is ratted out and just a parts bike do it but in all in honestsy thats chopper is a pos 185, built for looks, no suspension your banshee will kick its ass even if its only running on 1 cylinder

i dont like the chopper point of it. if its a nice banshee then dont trade for anything less than a 200x. im not a big fan of costom jobs like that. maybe if it was a real clean 185, thats in original condition i would. but we need to see the banshee first

No way would I trade a banshee for that. Maybe an off brand pit bike. I actually just did trade an off brand pit bike for something called a snow bug. Looks alot like that but its got a ten horse Sucemsuh motor on it.

The thing isn't gonna be any fun on trails. Its just for looks. But I don't know, Florida is mostly swamp so maybe you won't have to turn much? I wouldn't trade.

I seen the build Post when that 185 Chopper was made. I think he did a good job with it. Basically its what your comfortable with. It may not be a Trail rider but it certainly turns some heads and you won't soon see another one! If you are both happy with it go for it, it you feel there's a value difference ask him to throw in some cash or maybe parts for something else?

We need pics of the Banshee. Personally I would not trade but if you will get more use from the 185s then go for it.

Well the banshee has had a hard life with me it was my first freestyle bike. you may have seen pics from Quads Only three years ago.It used to look a little something like this! but not any more. and I don't jump anymore so I'm looking for something to just have fun with.

you asked for opinions so here i go. your a fool to trade for that. unless your an attention whore your not gonna get much in return out of the chopper. its your quad so do what you want. i hope this is a joke and your not that dumb. just my opinion thats it, nothin personal.

Don't do it.....that trike chopper thing was done well but it is good for this IMO: standing around it with your buddies when your tipping a few beers in the garage,,,it's something cool to look at and maybe ride around the yard a few times.

So the banshee needs motor work, put a 350x motor in it and be done with it, it will run better anyway.

^^^^^^350x motor in a banshee? bahahaahaha!!!

and no i wouldnt trade. sell it or part it out on bansheehq or bansheecentral and buy a trike and pocket the rest of the money.

for all of the people hating on the chopper bike you all are a bunch of fags.I own the other chopper and ive been riding the piss out with no problems mud trails hills all kind of stuff and it rides way better than any stock 200s-185.you guys should have the balls to build your own and try for yourself.

Dude no one was hating on your bike. They just said they wouldn't trade a Banshee for it. And maybe in Florida it works good, but where there are steep hills and tight turns on wooded trails it wouldn't handle as good as in stock form.

no, yfz4me is my brother. he got a little upset. Its funny how I built the first chopper and a friend decided to trade me his banshee for it. and then tonight my brother got offered that yfz for his and he took it.

needless to say I am headed to south florida to find a couple more 185's to chop.

Update on the all terrain chopper. This thing is sweet, took it out last weekend found a group of quads and stayed in the middle of the pack. They could not believe how fast I was riding thru the woops and the way I ripped around the berms. I would love to race anybody with a 185s. And we also went mudding, tore that up too.
