question about 2-strokes

[n00b on a 400ex]

whats with all the rumors i hear about 2005 or 2006 bieng the last year for them. is it because of eviromental whores or something else?

[Pappy]

thats the word....because of the enviroment

[2002400ex]

i wonder if there will be 4 stroke weed eaters and chain saws and stuff like that. that would be really weird.

[FasstMidnightZ]

yea its susposed to end in 06 ,
that would be wierd to have a 4 stroke chainsaw

[bulkdriverlp]

look at the blue stinkin smoke that pukes out the back of 2-strokes. multiply that my millions out there. major air pollution. get rid of them all i dont care.

[Scott-300ex]

that talk has been goin on for years
"In 2000 all 2-stokes will be gone."
"In 2001 all 2-stokes will be gone."
"In 2002 all 2-stokes will be gone."
"In 2003 all 2-stokes will be gone."
"In 2004 all 2-stokes will be gone."

Now apparently its a rumor for 2005 and 2006.

I don't believe it anymore, if they cancel 2-strokes there will be a huge anouncment and all the stores will have signs saying, come get the banshee, its the last year for them.

:ermm:

[300ex_rider1121]

the banshees and blasters are either in their last year (05) or there last year is 06

[Honda400exrox]

well it is gonna suck for motocross when they stop making 2strokes i love 2strokes i was riding my little brotheres CR85 and it was soooo much more fun then riding my pos ttr125

[cheetah]

Yamaha marketing strategy.:eek2:

[n00b on a 400ex]

lol, i bet theyd make parts like "new 06 banshee engine for your old banshee" and "new lighter 06 banshee frame for your old banshee". basically a build it yourself so they dont get in trouble for making a complete 2 stroke

It doesn't mean you can't ride them, just won't be able to buy them, so just put a fresh motor in your 2-stroker and keep on pollutin and blowing all the 4-strokers away :D

i smoke a banshee...drag race...1 mile...

[Destructo]

Well, if you take a comparable 2-stroke, it will blow you away, quit comparing a 350cc bike to a 450cc bike :p Althought, I imagine a banshee with some goodies on it will own all kinds of 4-stroke quads.

Now if I could just figure out how to put the 2-stroke 500cc twin cylinder Yamaha motors out of my jet skis in my 400ex we would see whats fast haha.

[Dust_1503]

2 strokes as in quads and bikes don't even have near the effect pollution wise compared to cars or jets. OHV don't hardly amount to anything they aren't big enough motor wise to compare to other vehicles pollution.

[stocktires]

They're outlawing 2-strokes in 06' that dont have X amount of wheel travel (can't remember exact amount), has a light, and some other rule.

4 stroke weed wackers are already out.

[Krazy Kid]

i dont think they will ban them, there are teo many things that depend on them, not just bikes and quads, things like soem ocean liners will use 2 stroke engines
