Yep!

I'm gona put a high-back seat on it with some "Monkey bar" style handle bars, a drink holder, some side mirrors and some hand warming handle grips.

That and screw the throttle limiter in so I guarantee it will only max out at 35 mph.


Saftey is the key here.

Hey beech all your incessant ranting has done is prove true that the only difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has it's limits. You have shown time and time again that you are without limits. Each time a coherent thought is posted you quickly show simple minded you are. Type it all you want but yes, sorry I have to be the one to tell you but, 2 strokes are going to die out. You some how have turned a blind eye to any realistic facts posted so here is another one again, they will probably not do so in your riding life, but shortly there after. So while you may be able to ride a 2 stroke all you want, the following generation of rider most likely will not, nor will they want to. Supply and demand says that they will get more expensive to maintain, and with no further production to replace and totaled, stolen, or otherwise rendered useless ones, they will fade away. This coupled with the advances in technology, the environmental issues, promotion by the factories, etc, etc, etc, will even make the point moot since future riders will consider them to be what they will be at the time.... obsolete. There is no point in going back and forth with no as you can not be reasoned with (refer back to the without limits statement). The only solace I will be allowed (unless you severe carpal tunnel and can no longer type) is that I can look forward to a time when 2 strokes become so rare that even you will have to admit my accuracy. All the while 4 strokes will become more prevalent and so technologically advanced that 2 stroke ideology will be seen as archaic. For the sake of novelty lets not use the dinosaur analogy this time, instead how about 3 wheelers. They are out of production, you can still get parts for them, the had 2 strokes, from the recent past, can still perform adequately, yet how many of them do you see? Yes they are still out there, but honestly, how many? They suffered the same fate that 2 strokes will eventually endure...... obsolescence. Like they say... smoke em if you got em. Do it now cause you won't be able to forever.

You can preach your pasture like words to me and the forum all you want. 3-wheelers were banned because they were dangerous and the government forced every manufacturer to ban them. Yes, i see tons of them at the beach. That is where i ride. I see tons of 2-strokes at the beach. That is where i ride. I see tons of 4-strokes at the beach. That is where i ride. I will guarantee you there are more bikes on the pismo shores on one big weekend then all the mx'ers combined. Just because your track doesnt highlight the entire community of quad riders doesnt mean they dont exist in your feable world.

2-strokes are cheap and easy to rebuilt. I can blow up a 15 year old motor and replace it cheaper then the labor would cost you alone to pull your motor down so dont talk to me about economics. I have a 4-strokes believe it or not. In fact i have 3 of them and previously owned 4 of them. So dont tell me im ignorant to the fact that the 4-strokes have their place. Anything a 4-stroke can do a 2-stroke can do as well. Vise versa that and the statement isnt correct.

What is all th ******* wining about? Are all you 4 stroke guys mad cause you have to stroke it twice more then we do?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Ok seriously though, this getting annoying. Who cares. There's always gonna be a 4 stroke faster then a particular 2 stroke and a 2 stroke faster then that 4 stroke. WHO CARES?!?!?!?!??


I am so much more happier working on my 250r then working on my Warrior. It feel's like if I take my Warrior motor apart and don't put it back toigether just right, the thing wont run. But with my R, There is nothing to it at all!!!!!!!!!!


Not that I don't love my 4 stroke, but 2 strokes are awesome too. Just because there not your particular brand of vodka, doesn't mean they are pieces of ****!!! That goes for the same with some people and 4 strokes.


One thing I like is that how everyone when comparing quads has to compare it to the people that ride it. For instance, 450rs are faster then YFZ's because Tim Farr won many races on a 450r. What is that??!?! I mean seriously....If that's the only way you can prove that you think your quad is better, then I have nothing to say to you. But it shouldn't even matter....4 stroke 2 stroke I dont care I just want to ride!!!!


Later

65 Chrysler New Yorker.... That is one among many hundreds of makes in this world. Someone's trash is another man's treasure! I see where your going, the Banshee will be a collector in many peoples minds. And a stock Banshee will be a rare find like a 65 Chrysler New Yorker.... I might be able to see that.....
I think you are going to be right on the money with the collector item. I think a new Banshee will be the 69 RS/SS Camero, Hemi Cuda, or maybe the Grand National of the year 2025. To this day, they still don't make a car that can beat a mod'ed GNX, for the price, or even close to the price. Just like a two stroke!!!! And just like a two stroke, they have tiny CID but put out BIG power. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Banshee.............................buy one for 6k next year and save it until 2025 and sell it for 100K or more!!!!!!..............or buy it today and turn your knuckles white for years!!!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
