You're better off driving to Canada and trying to bring it back across the border.

Why would you want a brand new 08 when you can get a used bike a few years old for a 1/3 of the price. You can find 'em stock, minor bolt ons, and they're all gonna save you money....

Yup. Buy a used one and grab some orange plastics when they start floating around.
The should a of done a bit more detail on it. Solid black seat on a black frame would of been nicer over the same silver frame.

Briantattoo73: I merged your thread into this one since it's the same topic!

id like to see a raptor 660 or 2004 yfz450 stay around for 22 years unchanged... oh yea wait, they have already had to upgrade them both, numerous times ALREADY!

thats retarded statement, the banshee should of been changed many years ago, for one the air box needs to be changed, two the shocks/handling need to be improved theres no way you can even compare a stock shee to a stock 450 in handling not even close. don't get wrong i love shees well any 2stroke for that matter but your statement is retarded, srry.

Thanks for the info.I dont think it is as much me wanting a new one as it is me wondering how long they will keep making them.I used to race open class mx in 87 with a banshee it was my first atv and it bothers me to think they will stop makeing the last 2 stroke.I am not going to purchase one it more of a what if question.I wonder if you did pay the import tax and the price they want if they would send it or give some bullsh:t excuse why you cant have it.Thanks again

Do they still make 2 stroke dirt bikes in canada?

[fastR of puppets]
