bansheefreak Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Return of the musclecars! It's happening all over again. First the mustang, then chevy gets in, then a mass of high power, rear drive v-8's rock out. As for the banshee, the 450 is most likely replacing it. However, if a suitable replacement were made, it would have to live up to the banshee. High revving, massive power, sweet sound,etc... 2-stroke is out of the question for emissions and C.A.R.B. and whatnot. I guess an inline four, maybe gsx-r motor? Fuel injected, quick revving, high power four banger four stroke. IMO, the only replacement for a banshee could be somethig as wild as a production gixxer six motor in a yamaframe, maybe even some modern suspension? 295037[/snapback] we don't want no gixxer motor in it we want an r6 motor or even a r1.....but i get your point...

2stroke_addict Posted December 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 does anybody knows if yamaha is even working on such replacement?? magazines say nothing, so i guess they aren't working on shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk02banshee Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 They'll never "replace" it. Another fast quad is'nt gonna make it a banshee. They'll keep selling banshees, as long as people keep buying them. I can tell you this, though...some shops are'nt ordering any, unless they're requested. I've been to 3 yamaha shops so far that said "we can get you one, but we don't have room for them on the floor" Everyone wants 450s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
