Anyone else read Dirtwheels and see anything about the Banshee 500? I don't know how much they are going to follow through with the idea. But right now they say it is basically a r1 motor cut in half producing 86hp I thin it is. But say that they would choke it up to like 65-70hp for the release. What go you guys think about it?

 

already heard about it supposedly the info leaked in july...do a search there are few other threads about it with both FOR and against the idea of a new and possibly improved banshee. but be warned that it may be an april fools joke from DW...i dont have the mag so i havent read the story but did hear a while back they were going to 'possibly' bring it back....we will see it when it happens and compare then..until then we will all speculate and discuss it as fourms do.

Oops, I guess I should have searched for it first. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] When reading the article, I noticed it was rather large and in depth. It had a little questionable parts to it. But didn't really put off the idea that it was one of those joke ideas they come up with sometimes. Anyway, I know what you mean about mixed ideas. Some people think the banshee name shouldn't be used on another atv. That they should at least name it differently. At least a banshee 2. lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
