dragbanshee98 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 i personally think that it would be awesome to see the banshee move forward into the current yamaha lineup... the only way that would happen though is for it to be a 4 stroke, since that is all that yamaha fields now in any category that they sell... although it would not be an original banshee with the 2 stroke screamer... it would be cool to se them come out with a twin cylinder 4 stroke motor in a new frame and ergos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyown Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I don't know for you but I'm like a children when I have a 2 stroke in hands... from weed heater to 4 wheeler! lol! Just don't call a 4 stroke bike a banshee... it would destroy the shee reputation in my mind. I'll hate yamaha if they do this mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001Stroker Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 they make a 4 stroke weedwackeri have to look this up to see it, lol 2001stroker, how much does it weigh? haha, yea they make 'em. I don't know how much they actually weigh. But, I'm sure that you already know that 4-stroke engines have to be bigger and heavier than 2-strokes, to produce the same hp. They'll definately give your right forearm a workout. At least then, you'll have an excuse for having one arm bigger than the other. i think a four stroke banshee would be a horrible idea you would never get the same amount of fun out of the motor,i think they have found a better way to make a 2 stroke motor with less emissions and hopefully the same power if not more than what the exspansion chamber made. I'm pretty sure that I seen somewhere that they have made a 2-stroke engine that produces less emissions than a tyipcal 4-stroke. In my opinion, if Yamaha was smart, they would use a power valved engine, just like it's RZ predecessor. That way, a factory Banshee would be able to keep up on the MX track, with all of the stock 450's. That's where you get all of your real advertising. They should change the name at least and don't call it a banshee... it's my opinion :happy: I'm with ya. Banshee means badass twin 2-stroke. Change the motor, change the name.

I usually don't have to go past about 1,800rpm just trimming the yard, or edging the sidewalks. I tried cutting the saltwater weeds behind my house with my mom's 4-stroke jobby, and it wouldn't do it. It kept bogging down in the thick shit, with .090 string. That's when I decided to go out and buy that Shindaiwa. Best move I could've made. Zing that bitch up to about 8g's, and let the .105 string eat. Oh, and that thing will almost do a full twist in your hand. I can't beleive the torque that thing has for a 2-stroke. All my gas powered tools and equipment are 2-stroke, except the lawn mower. I'd probably buy a 2-stroke lawn mower if I could find one. Just cause I'm a fein for a 2-stroke. :biggrin: Not trying to say that my shit's better than yours. Just trying to prove a point, that the 2-stroke is a very strong motor, and should be here to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the motor, change the name. I read the same thing about the 2 stroke technology is bringing them to a point were it produces less emisions.
