I can say with the upmost confidence that thing's been treated well and not abused if that frame hasn't ever been replaced. They had a knack for that. I personally went through THREE of those due to frame issues. Fool me twice? Yeah, they got me. I loved those things. First one wasn't noticed until after I sold it. Second one was under warranty, but I traded it in rather than deal with a frame swap. After the third time, I was sold on a Quad Racer.
...so yeah, I'd say that thing hasn't been beat on.
Did you grit your teeth and try to look like Clint Fuckin' Eastwood?
Or did you lisp it all hangfisted like a fuckin' flower?
I was looking at those 230s when I was 13, didn't have any money, and was trying to convince my parents to buy me one. Those and Honda 250x. In the old printed want-ad!
That thing is minty!

To further muddy this thread, does anyone know of a really good Banshee mechanic? I have an rd350 motor in a box and im not finding the time to get it back together and tuned. I need someone who can inspect and rebuild the whole thing then bench test and tune, ideally on a stand since the bike is still in pieces too.
i was on two wheels by around 8 but before that was a complete ATC ADDICTION literally would drool over the thought of owning a 250R but ended up getting an FL250 Odyssey.
on the old printed want/sale ads ... anyone from CT area remember the Bargain News? ... oh, shit, it still exists! so much dreaming flipping through that paper as a kid.

Think I still have a huge assortment of carb jets for the Banshee in the shed, minus the set that was in it when I sold it. Anyone need em?

'a song' ?? 1K ?? damn that's sweet !
yeah, Bargain News was awesome to flip through while working at the gas station making $0/hr ... outside of bikes, almost bought a mid '70s Subaru 4x4 Wagon but ended up continuing my (lowrider) VW addiction with a '73 Beetle. bought it in Bridgeport CT from a sketchy shop, didn't notice the destroyed-and-booger-welded-together front beam until it was home in the daylight.

Maybe I’m not up on the current terms of a song, it’s just an old school expression for getting a good deal.. lol
I traded my YZ 250X for. I paid $7,200 for the 250x new in 2018, the 450R Special edition was $9k new in 2019, and the guy put $1500 in accessories on it, then rode it twice before getting hurt on it, then it sat in his garage for 2 years.. lol Loved my 250X, but my back said no every time I got on it this past year.
Been there with the bargain news deals, my first ride was a 1972 Chevy c10 shortbed I bought for $300 on the bargain news magazine. Tried to get it inspected a week later and the shop failed it for rotted floors. I pulled the carpet up the patch the floors and there was a Stop sign riveted to the drivers side floor, and a speed limit 25 sign riveted to the passengers side.. lol
