kaotik1 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 I was out and about, when I saw the possible 2008/9 banshee. It's a 500cc 4stroke, with half the R1 motor in it, and boast a claim of 70 stock hp. The frame is derived from the YFZ450 and some of the R1. They also use the 450 headlights. Looked like it might be a nice ride, not a 2stroke but could have potential! Quote
bansheeyfz Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 thats is a older issue. i saw that back in july or august.do you know what month issue it was by chance? if they do make this i personally dont think they could call it a banshee Quote
wesw Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 let me guess its the april issue right. usually they do some crap like that for april fools day. Quote
djackbanshee Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 No havent seen it dirtwheels usually makes up these kinda jokes .. Quote
bansheeseat$$ Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Was it a Dirt Wheels for April??? EDIT:You beat me to it Wes Quote
06BaNsHeE Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 I would be pretty pist if they come out with a 4stroke banshee PERIOD. Quote
kaotik1 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Posted February 22, 2007 I did not look at the month it was for, but yeah if it was april that is possible.... Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 dirtwheels is the most biased piece of shit magazine out there.. whoever fills their pockets gets the best reviews, simple as that. Quote
STLBILL Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 The concept has substance. Suzuki is bringing back the Quadracer as a four-poke. If it were true they'd be in showrooms right now. The 'Shee's days have been numbered for quite a while. There is no excuse for having a "resting year". Why would it take them all of 2007 to release the new four-poke version? Doesn't add up. The term Banshee is associated with a death scream in Irish Folklore. If anyone has ever heard a four-poke scream - record it. You'll make a fortune. Quote
enFORCER Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 and anyway,Yamaha is currently still making the Banshee. They just don't sell it in the USA. Quote
FireHead Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 This is the same thing they did a few years ago when they ran a festure on the new Bombardier ATV that doubled as a personal watercraft. El retardo is you ask me, :shoothead: Quote
thegroup Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 The term Banshee is associated with a death scream in Irish Folklore. i think this describes it best Quote
Mike_1978 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 i think this describes it best :biggrin: ... :thumbsup: Quote
bigscary Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 dirtwheels is the most biased piece of shit magazine out there.. whoever fills their pockets gets the best reviews, simple as that. I agree completely but have any of you watched atv magazine TV with doug meyer (SP) he has to be one of the worst...... Quote
