Wtf Some one said that there is going to be a change, the banshee will turn into a 400c 4 stroke, handling like the 400ex, wtf do you think about this.

No way. I hate to say it but i think the next thing that will happen to the Banshee is to discontinue it. 2-strokes are a dying breed, im suprised it lasted as long as it did

Hey No2strokesbs,
Your crazy if you think the two stroke is a dying breed. Ill bet you ride a raptor or an ex, not that theres anything wrong with them,but lets get one thing straight my Banshee eats em up!!!! Maybe ill see you on the trails someday.

It doesn't really matter which one is faster or whatever all it matters is that it is a 2 Stroke and 2strokes cause way more pollution. 2002 Honda Motorcycle lineup will NOT include 2strokes EXCEPT specially made ones for Racers. The end is near for the inevitable 2 strokes. They'll be around for fifty more years anyways look at the 250 r 10-13 years already.

Back off man, I have a 99 Banshee and a Raptor, I wasnt saying that a 2-stroke is slow, i just ment that with the way pollution laws are going I dont expect for 2-strokes to be in production for many more years.I Done let the my handle fool you, Im a 2-stroke man to the bone, I just thought the handle sounded cool

Are the Holeshots and Razor's as good as everyone yaps about. I just bought a 2001 Banshee and the stockers suck, i need something thats aggressive and is going to hook up in mud and hard terrain. Let me know what you guys think!!!

Thanks,
Aaron

To ERICsRAPTOR:

Honda will still continue producting two stroke dirt bikes for years to come.. The bikes wont sure be availabvle for racers. You, your mom, and your neighbor could all buy them if you pleased. Motocross bikes will be made much longer than 2 stroke quads since they are labeled as closed coursed competition only bikes.

Hey ERIC what was the last Honda non racing motorcycle that was 2stroke? The 2002 lineup will have the same amount of 2strokes they've had in the last 20 line ups.

I've read in one of the new honda atv writeup's on this site(300ex or 250ex) that the 2 stroke will only be sold to racers. There will not be a 2 stroke on the floor if you go to a dealership. OK
