wacko2000 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 So i got the new dirt wheels a few days ago and just had some time to look at it. On the front cover is a picture of the banshee 500 wtf They are saying that it would have 75hp. What do you guys think about this? Will they really bring the banshee back as a 4 poker..... Boy Im curious as hell if this would actually go through Who would buy one if they really brought it back??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa_smurf49319 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 omg!!!!!!!!!! This was a april fools joke a few years back, did they do it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 If they don't do it with the Banshee every year it is some other outrageous quad that won't see production. I think Yamaha has enough respect for the Banshee legacy to not bring out something with the Banshee name on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheesandrider Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Every time they do it, they write a fictitous story and photoshop some four joke motor into a Banshee frame and say it is the coming thing. They have done this multiple times with the Banshee. And the years they don't use a Banshee, they have put a Harley motor in a 4X4 frame, one year they photoshopped ATV tires on a PWC and said it was a "true" all terrain vehicle. Every April issue is something like this, the key is it is always in the April issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 nothing real about it. its a fake. they write half ass believable descriptions about the bike trying to make people think its really happening. they hope people will spread the word and others will go out and buy the issue.

MarineNYC Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 It is the same pic as b4. Its a yellow YFZ with a r1 motor in the frame and a banshee grill up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I thought this was a joke on us here again at first glance, but i cant believe this is still going around from years ago and they did the exact same thing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasi S. Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (Sorry my english - don´t know how to say this better) I think that they will build something close to Banshee but not use the name BANSHEE. In Japan they are building better 2-stroke engines today and maybe some day they will put one in a ATV frame. Same with the RD/RZ 350 31K YPVS Street bike. Because Yamaha is now a part of the Toyota I can easily believe that they will do something. Same with the classic Toyota AE86 Levin and Trueno (Corolla GT) now it´s Toyota FT86 and coming out 2011. And the Supra MkIV JZA-80 is first coming out as a Lexus LFA and maybe after that as a Supra MkV. At the same time there was few other powerfull sedans(Aristo, Chaser) with the same engine as a Supra (2JZ-GTE) and now they have Lexus ISF. The big 2-stroke in line twin cylinder EFI engine in a sport ATV is something that I can believe. Not as a Banshee but something like YFZ ??? and the plastics are reminding you from Banshee. Hope you understund what I´m trying to say. -Pasi S. Here is the AE86 and FT86 http://photos.webridestv.com/datastore/images/user/a2b34186f40d3586d58aaee6a99ad140/Rumored_New_Toyota_Trueno_(AE86)_104975_20080710.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motoman991 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 There was also a pic of a 4x4 quad with the Yamaha V-max engine from the street bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
