For you guys that think the Banshee is dead and gone, well guess what is winning the Dakar by over two hours with only a few days to go? Yep a bloody old banshee up against the big $$$$ four strokes

I don't think so he is listed as a 350 Yamaha and it sure looks like a shee on the hightlight reel.
Yeah how about it the Dinosaur and the MX quad (LT-R) are hoseing the fleet of Can-Am's bringing up the rear

Still shuts up all those people wh think the banshee geometry is crap and doesnt handle well. I dont get what the problem is with the banshee. 
Unless he is using a 250r geomertry type chassis....... And even if he is, The benshee plastics are cool.

ahh but there are many ways to make it handle well, (well enough for nutter rally racers anyway).
I don't mind hybrids as long as they are in the spirit of the sport and not completley illeagal like the banshee with the zx6 engine at finke.

Unless of course he has the new Maier "Raptor style" plastics on it......... And even if he does Banshee fuel tanks are cool.

The manufacturers may phase them out, but 2strokes will never die.
You know the first quad to ever finish The Roof of Africa race was a stock Blaster.
