 ;D ;)

I can't beleive you never knew that.. I think there going to stop 2-Stroke's also.  But not sure when. :-\

You have got to be kidding me...The Banshee is a 2 stroke alright?..hmmm? They are stopping production. 2006 is the last year. All the other 2 strokes going to stop being produced as well. 2006 is the last year. Your acting like you know what your talking about, but the bottom line is that you don't. This has been known for years.

i think the 2stroke dirt bikes are still gonna be produced, heard it form a friend so i cant declare it true like someone else who is a big know it all. >:D

Ask Raptor700r, he knows everything.  ::)  It would not make sense for 2 stroke dirt bikes to still be in production because they have the same emissions as any other 2 stroke, thus why 2 strokes are being discontinued. Unless you mean an off-brand name like GasGas or E-ton, they will still be able to make 2 strokes due to the fact that they are not mass produced.

Well you dont even know me so how can ou say that???

What exactly is it that you mean by that "I don't know you so how can I say that"?? So you are saying because I don't know you that 2 strokes won't be canceled? You seem like a bright person.

this all concerns me how????

i think thats what he meant, but why would any other off brand be able to continue producing 2 strokes if there all being banned for the same reason, i remember hearing that there workin on a new 2 stroke engine that eliminates all those emissions. o yeah, i know there makin a new engine thats a 6 stroke, well read asbout it any ways :P

cant you go bug people on another site. look, heres some advice, put two stroke gas in your raptor and feel the power of a 2stroke ;D >:D

 I wouldnt really call GasGas a off brand.. They have much higher quality bikes than e-ton, and they have their parts locally in florida.

TWo stroke dirtbikes are still going to be in production after 2006 except for the kx125 trust me as long as theres a demand they will keep making them.

Well I would believe that there is a demand for 2 stroke ATV's, espically the Banshee but they are discontinued. Dirt bikes are not as highly produced as ATV's is the only reason I can think for them keeping the 2 stroke motor as that being the same reason why the smaller companys are allowed to make 2 stroke ATV's still. I call GasGas an off-brand because it basicly is. It is not one of the big 6; Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Polaris and Artic Cat, which in my mind makes it an off brand. If it had as high of quility bikes as the above companys than it would make more sales and be a major company and not an "off-brand" one... Just my .02

6-Stroke what kind of engine is that??

Its for a microwave oven.

funny dr d.

im serious about the 6 stroke, i read an article way back on this site about it, its like the same power as a 2 stroke, only with less emissions ;)

theres a rumor about replacing the blaster with a yfz250 :o

2 strokes wont be discontinued kiddies

Ummm, okay? I believe it’s the Environmental Protection Agency that has the say so in this matter, and the truth is that 2 strokes engines can’t meet the requirements of the EPA’s emission standards so they are to be discontinued if they are produced in mass. Now to my understanding, dirt bikes are not mass produced so they will continue to be built until the EPA passes some new law preventing them to be built which I am sure they will. Oh, by the way I am not a "kiddie", I happen to be older than you son.

Uh oh tough guy.....................sarcasm..........but ok dont belive me Jr.



Eh i can still beat you in a drag race ;D

i think you should challenge him to a tree pee :P

You probably could beat me in drag race because I am running a stock Blaster, champ.  ;D  And as for you Klutchbuster..If you want yourself a challenge, heres one: Go challenge your dog to a match of who can poop on the carpet first.  ;)

That would be awsome....

Oh christ,
DU DUR DUR!

i heard that there going to stop making all 2 stroke bikes (quads and dirtbikes) due to the amount of polution they put out.....??? thats wat i heard, dont know wen tho

yea and most of the race bikes now in motocross are 4 strokes... back wen my unle raced ( wen carmicheal was riding peewee) all the bikes were 2 stroke he had 2 yz250's and smaller bikes he won

The only way to keep 2-strokes in production is to meet the emissions regulations. The only reason that I can guess they are keeping the 2-stroke dirtbikes is because of racing. When do you see a 2-stroke in modern racing? never unless it is open class. Thats why they are discontinuing the Banshee, for the blaster they said the Yamaha was trying to design a 250 4-stroke engine for the Blaster frame but well just have to wait and see.?

250 4 stroke? Pfftt. That would be slower than the 200cc two stroke engine in it now. No one's gonna buy that peice of crap when they could get a proven Z250 or 250EX.

Hate to break it to you, but people still run them in regular class's.
