Sorry My trike Sucks, I edited your post by accident. Hit the wrong button.

I think I got it back to the way it was.

Back in the day, I was sad to see the yellow and black go. But, a red and white anniversary edition with that "film strip" logo would be awesome too.

i should show my step dad the pic of the new aniversary bike, he used to have a 75 yz 250 back n the day..lol

looks like im buyin a Banshee....im gettin a new quad,well i was gunna get a cr250, cuz pretty soon you wont be able to get a new one of them, and i reaaaalllly need a dirtbike, i cant do without one, but theres always the never-fail 2 stroke bikes of the 80s, buuut im gunna have to get the last of the after 06' ,dead breed

how much you wanna bet in 6-10 years, after ther end of the banshee, people are gunna start A) hatin on 2 strokes like they do trikes and B)"

arent they outlawed?" .........lol that question pisses me off

i guess the shee had its share of sell time....my 350x is 20 years old now and the banshees are gunna be sold over a run of 20 years, and they werent the least popular quad out there, so theres enough to go around after 06 i guess

I can't wait to pick up a new raptor :-) ...IF I do, I will wait for the 07's. I know yamaha had troubles with their EFIS the first year on their sportbikes too.

**Dynofox** · 06-14-2005, 10:21 PM

If I rode more I'd own a yfz 450, I'd pick up the 05 yellow/black color combo. That new raptor sounds like it should be a real nice machine.

^^^ that is good news. I thought they'd ban all of them!!!!
Now we shall truly see who is king!!!
In my opinion, 250 2-stokes are about equel to the 450 4-strokes! Even though they have 200cc's on them, that makes 2-strokes better!!!

**MTS** · 06-15-2005, 08:11 PM

Well, hopefully i get to put one together (i do PDI at a yamie shop) and ill let you guys know the scoop

!

damn honda needs to start coming up with new things, every year yamaha brings out something new and honda doesn't really do **** about it.

**250r'en +TCB** · 06-17-2005, 12:21 PM

^^Did you see the new honda 2-stroke motor??? It's the EXP-2 I think.... It meets the tree huggers laws...LOL beat them at their own game! 2-strokes are back b*tches!!!

**Dynofox** · 06-17-2005, 12:54 PM

Haven't you guys been keeping an eye on the 2-stroke tech in both the water craft and snowmobile industries? There are some very efficient 2-strokes using forms of DI and SDI. Yamaha has basically gone to all 4-strokes in their sleds where as bombi has gone the clean 2-stroke route with their SDI system.

The honda EX2 is an old story...... i don't think it made it past final draft.
