Reading around through this site makes me want a banshee.

But I can't get rid of my trikes to do so, lol.

yamaha isnt cutting the banshee at all, its just not being sold in the us. drive to canada or mexico whichever your closest to and you can get an 07 banshee.

the price is canadian dollars, so i think that equals like $5.99 U.S. but not sure, lol

I thought they are dis-continuing Banshee production in all areas after 07. Or is it just the US?

[helldriver]

i think yamaha is lazy, and dosent want to retool the shee, with a little work, than can make that motor pass emmisions,, hell alot of 2 strokes can pass

[tonyown]

Wtf I'm from canada/quebec and I didnt see a shee at a yamaha dealer from a long time....

[sredish]

they'll be sold through canadian dealers next year and then will be pulled from n. america altogether last I heard.

Didn't bombadier make a two stroke jetski that burns cleaner than some four strokes?

[rebelbanshee2]

when the ski-doo 800 came out it passed the new 06 emmisions rule...the 4 stroke RX-1 didnt. Im sure it does now though.

 

Absolute BS that the EPA, made up of unelected beaurocrats can make laws regarding off highway vehicles. George Washington led an army because of something like that...
