some peep told me they were gonna step up the banshee to a twin 500cc two stroke :shock: :shock: :shock:

Honda makes a nice wave runner and a 4x4 quad for hunters. 2 wheels are a different story..

Sorry folks, the only changes to the Banshee are colors and stickers.

figures get my hopes up. oh well im stil happy with my toy. i still think honda needs to come out with a new toy as well. to me they are fallin behind in this area big time. i still think they need to come out with a that 450 motor in a quad or come out with a totally radical two stroke. me and some buddies were talkin and figured if honda came out with a single piston 300cc two stroke now that would sell. but i know its only a deam and wish amungst friends. and to me yamaha is still leading the market in most areas. cuz its making bikes for all riders. thats just my $.02

The rumor is it's a sport quad based on the WR450 motor with the wide ratio 5 speed trans. It will have a headlight and tail light. It ought to out handle all the thumper quads out to date but we'll see about that.

Like she said they were posted on another site.
Or maybe I registered www.yamaha-motors.com, set up the web site, photchopped pic's and posted them just to mess with your large head?

I already said I would not "tattle." But whatever. I don't need to know where you supposedly got the pics. I just hope Yamaha doesn't sue www.deepsand.net or www.sandbros.com . That would be ugly.
Mike330R
Jun 3 2003, 08:43 PM
Whoa, easy with the 'sue' comment.
Maybe we should sue you for insinuating they came from sandbros or deepsand?
You yourself looked at the properties of the pictures and you yourself saw the url was from Yami.
Pull your head out of your ass and don't attack Deepsand or Sandbros.

Mike, you are making way too big a deal out of this. As I have said numerous times today, I could care less what anyone posts. But Yamaha certainaly cares. Pull your head out of your own effen ass and realize this is not between me and you or Dallas. It is between whoever posted pics and Yamaha. Got it?

My fun was not soiled, or even spoiled. And I did not accuse Sandbros of anything. I merely pointed out that Yamaha might not like your posts.

Does SandSports have anything to do with any of your posts?
From the quality of each I'd say so.

We'll pretend we never saw them so KG can let us all know on the 4th!

[quote]One thing for certain, rumors or not, Hondas only quad lovers are just "dreamers" ............sad but true. Thank god Yamaha cares about the sport and proves it time and time again. Not that some of the other companies don't have some good quads also, cause they do. Just not Honda, well I like their old ATC 70's and some of their two wheelers.[/quote]

It was raining 450 quads today, I had to take out my umbrella..............Would anyone like me to supply some cheese to go with all this whine? I know the high court likes both, or at least one.[/quote]

Maybe enough to afford one of them high dollar rails!?

i dont want to diss honda cuz i have owned them in the past but they better get their butts in gear or everyone is gonna fly past them. they are the only one that hasnt produced a competive quad in the past 2 years or more (im being reasonable too). they my be happy with the 400ex but we are the ones that need the pleasing. so all i can say is "wake up honda and smell the exhaust fumes" cuz they are gettin left behind.
thats my $.02
