    how many more years?

    how many more years do you think the banshee will be in production? ive always wanted one but never saved up and got one. it seems like nobody buys them anymore so i was just wondering how much longer do you think they will keep em coming.

    2006 is the last year because of epa regulations. but you'll still be able to buy used ones and such.
    I've had banshees, 250rs.. miss them all!

    there wont be any laws about riding and racing the older ones, in-fact if yamaha made a few changes to the banshee to make it a closed course vehicle thenyou'd still beable to buy them in 07 (this is why they still have 125 and 250 dirt bikes )

    The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade in what they want most for what they want at the moment.

    would re-releasing a 350 4 stroke engine in the banshee frame make sense.. probably not since it'd be incredibly slow.. now if they put a 500 or 550 in it, then maybe it would be worth it
