helldriver Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 yeah i saw that,,, dunno what to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I think they were saying "IF" another banshee comes out this would be the motor to use. If they put that motor in it with a 6 speed, and kept the same styling with better suspention it would be killer only time will tell, but I say not likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 which issue is this? i must not have it yet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheerage Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 i think i would go for it though just to see what it was like. or maybee not. just depends on if it ever came out which i highly doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 its the june issue.. i just got in mail today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soupbox660 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Yeah, it won't really come out. Just another crazy concept someone has dreamed up. Why would they make a 500 twin when they already have the YFZ and the 700R. No point. They have a race bike and a big bore. If they were going to make a twin, it would have something to do with the 700 engine or something like that. I'm not saying they wont find something to replace the shee, but it wont be anything like that. Who would want a 500 twin 4 stroke on a Banshee anyway. Yeah right... They know something like that wont sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 yeah i almost got a chubby when i seen twin cyl 499cc... then i seen fourstroke and it went away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudaz101 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I dunno fellas...I am a 2-Stroke freak but 80HP is 80HP no matter how you chop it up. 80HP with 4-stroke torque might be a pretty nice combination. Yea...I took a look at the Phazer 500cc 4-stk and its rated at 80HP...Pretty impressive IMO. There is alot of chatter about this among dealers as well...May not be a pipe dream/BS...

BansheeBrian Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 80 hp with thumper torque would be a decent track machine depending how heavy it is and if they cleared up a few banshee warts. I'm sure if it did come out CP Industries would make a hell of a big bore for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp1tekiller Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 It could be interesting, but I can't see anything really replacing the Banshee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinner Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I wouldnt mind trying one if it does come out, probably be pretty quick, if not too heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaRider02 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I would be interested for sure. It doesn't make sense for Yamaha to drop the Banshee name and styling overnight. Afterall, if it wasn't for the Banshee keeping the sport quad market open for Yamaha up until the 450 and Raptor showed up, where would Yamaha be?

KlotzBanshee Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) I took a look at the new Phazer the other day at the stealership where i bought my shee, it looks like a pretty badass sno-x sled, but to covert it to a new banshee? quite a strech if you ask me. Dirtwheels likes to throw those photoshop specials in there once and a while, just to make people like us do a double take. like WTF! ...they're just f'n w/ us.
