Yeah I cannot see the this being ligit. For one even if it were so the EPA is still going to hault production at some point in the near future so why would they mix it all knowing thats going to happen.

I guarantee it's phoney. If this dude stated what congressman he was forwarding the messages to then i might buy into it, otherwise i wont bother calling that number cuz anyone with common sense knows its the EPA and not AMA that frowns on the 2 strokes.

It's no fucking phoney, shit, the reason the 2-stroke is dying is because of people like you who dont do shit to try to save it.

Oh christ dont tell me your going to try and boil this down exact again, you know exactly what I was getting at. Point being they are not going to be produced that much longer with pressure on the Manuf to quit.

look at all these factories around us... look at the fucking smoke stacks that are polluting the fuck out of this world and tell me that a every 2 stoke in the world running at 1 time for a week straight can make as much pollution as 1 of those smoke stacks in a hour.. i don't buy it and never will. FUCK the EPA. the only reason that 2 stroke aren't being sold anymore is the simple fact you got so many people wanting to have the newest thing on the market so they can be cool.if the EPA was so called the force behind shutting down the prodution of 2 strokes then why the fuck was yamaha still making them up till now. yamaha themselve ouit making 2 strokes because they are putting all thier technology into these 4 strokes. if they put as much time into a banshee or blaster as they are putting into the yfz450 or the new 700 raptor then every yamaha dealership would be on back order for the 2 strokes. and the whole maintainace issue is a bunch of bullshit too. i have a 4 stroke along with my banshee and i work on the damn 4 stroke more than my shee. either way you go 2 or 4 stroke your faced with the same maintaince issues.... 2 strokes need a new topend every fews years.... 4 strokes don't need topends as often but when they do you pay out the ass.. anyways i know i'm going to get some smartass know it all to reply to this but shit happens

There has to be pressure from some source to hault production, think about it. Why the hell would the discontinue a model that they havent had to invest any money in to change for 10+ years, not that they shouldnt have. They wouldnt have to spend a dime to continue plugging out more banshees so there would be no reason for them to quit, people were already buying a ton more YFZ's than shee's so it wasnt like a household competition.
