SyNtAxx Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Hey all, I heard a few seperate people talking about a new banshee. Supposedly a 500cc twin powerplant. Is this the long awaited update to the banshee before the "outlaw of 2 strokes"? I am just curious if it is true or not? Anybody have any dealer connections to verify? Nick Quote
ledofthezep Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 HOAX Would be cool though... Quote
cb67rs1 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 wait until the first of april thats when the magizines will post pictures and everyone with any knowledge about them will come out and start talking Quote
Otis Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 i don't see Yamaha puting in a whole lotta R&D(R&D=$$$$) into a new bike, that's only going to be around for a short while...... Unless they plan on detuning the engine from their GP bike.... .. .. M1 banshee 500...kinda has a ring to it.... Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 what are you talking about??? it's already out!! and i have the only one!! its a single cylinder 500cc 2 stroke since its a special edition limited one ill seel it to you for $25,000. its one of a kind Quote
BansheeBrian Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Who knows what yamaha has up their sleeve.We all had no idea they would put out a 45hp 450.Too many inexpirienced kids would break their shit on a 500.= more pressure on atvers. Quote
die_infidel Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I can't imagine a twin 500 in a banshee. The 350 alone is a rush, but a 500 would kill the unexperienced. Unless the 500 is a dog? It would be a dream come true to see a 500 twin 2 stroke banshee. I just hope they don't put a 4 stroke in the mighty shee. I do know that trinity has a 500cc big bore kit for the shee. Quote
