i have heard reom a few sources that yamaha has a 500cc twin banshee that will be out in 08 or 09. i think it will be in every country other than the US. i was wondering if anyone else has any info in this or have come across pics

i know this is a kawasaki forum, but most forums are full of punk kids that have no clue what they are talking about

BigGreenMachine:
Several versions of this machine are being tested in Japan. The powerplant is a Yamaha Phazer snowmobile motor which is essentially a sandwich of two YZ250F motors producing 80hp. It will likely be toned down for the quad. Frame geometry is very close to the YFZ450.

oh...  :cry: i was beeing over hopeful that they were going to use their old 2stk GP motor...

Yammy had a V4 2 stroke 500 back in the 80's.  That would make one WILD quad.
