2 Stroke Fury Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Does anyone know if Yamaha will continue to make the banshee after 2009? Also anyone know if they will make a Special edition banshee for 2009? From what I know is they have em up Canada. Sadly they aren't 2 Pokes anymore...

2001Stroker Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Searched and searched some more, where are the 2009 Banshees or are they imported? This is the World Wide Web, brother. There are people on here that have 2009 Banshee's, who do not live in the USA. Mostly Austrailia, Canada, or Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamebo Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Searched and searched some more, where are the 2009 Banshees or are they imported? Here is a you-tube clip of a 2009 Banshee from the video section posted by one of the HQ members, Fakkundo. The '09 colors and graphics look awesome.

peterlocal22 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 i love the 2009 colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
278 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Why'd they stop selling them in the U.S. too many tree huggers complain or what? I know that they are starting to outlaw 2-strokes in other industries such as the marine industry... They set forth an act saying I think in 2010 they can't make 2-stroke boat motors anymore or atleast sell them in the U.S. dont know if it passed but they tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Pa we have emissions and its so stupid! All the check for is to see if you gas cap has pressure. If it doesn't... Buy another one and then you pass. 2 Strokes aren't as bad as diesel and at least they smell alot better too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy another one and then you pass. 2 Strokes aren't as bad as diesel and at least they smell alot better too!!! Actually bro diesels smell bad but they are hella better for the environment... I think we should look at maybe ways to help it but not the ways were doing it... Like running houses on solar the gov't should fund every house to run on solar power helps environment and people... only thing outlawing 2-strokes is doing is making alot of people mad and causing such a small impact on helping the environment that it's not really worth it.... If the tree huggers want to help out so bad then help one of the big 3 auto makers come up with a diesel truck that has just as much power as any other diesel, gets 50mpg and come from the factory with a second tank that has a heater specially designed to run on cooking oil... not bio-diesel straight cooking oil, my old boss did that with his truck and says he doesn't have a problem.

woodro77 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 the tree huggers hve nothing to do with the death a the 2 stroke , atv's and dirtbike are considered off rode machines and are not controlled by the EPA or any other organization , the do not need to pass emissions . the only thing that killed the 2 stroke is sales , the companys will not produce a product that they think will not make them money ! and thats the bottom line . the AMA also helped to kill the 2 stroke by allowing 450cc 4 strokes to compete agains 250 2 strokes , ever since that the 2 stroke has been going the way of the dodo bird . they still sell 2 stroke in other countrys becuase there is a market for them , as soon as the sales go down the will stop making the altogether .

2001Stroker Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Explain everything else then. I know that many fisherman and lawn care companies would prefer a 2-stroke engine anyday. It has been made a federal law, that goes into effect in 2011, for all sales of oil burning 2-stroke engines to stop in the US (Yes, oil burning, because some diesels are 2-stroke). That has nothing to do with sales. That's the government trying to control shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodro77 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 i am talking about atv's not fishing boats , why would lawn care people rather mix gas and oil than just put straight gas in ? there is no laws controlling off road close coarse atv's right now . bottom line is 4 strokes sell . all the companys are putting all the research and development into 4 strokes because thats where the future is . especially in the birt bike market , more power better traction , fuel injection , 2 stroke dirtbikes dont sell and thats a fact . so why would they still make them . same goes for quads , they take the dirtbike motor and stick it in a quad . except for the small percent of banshee enthusiasts people dont want to buy 2 strokes , why did they stop making 500 's in 1990's , because they didnt sell like the 250's , bottom line is money . companys can make clean burning 2 strokes but its not worth it .
