In 86, Suzuki had 4 paid riders, 4 paid pit men, 4 box vans chocked full of any part the rider would need, & 2 atvs each a LT250R & a LT500R.
Honda had only one rider they were helping a great deal, but not like Suzuki was doing,
Yamahe had 2 paid riders with 2 atvs each a Banshee & a Tri Z 250 each of them & suppling them with parts.
Kawasaki had 2 paid riders running 3 wheelers & was sweeping the field winning just about every event.
In early 87 the 3 wheeler ban came about & Kawasaki desolved the entire racing team of Team Green.
In 89 Suzuki drop out of the atv racing scene & the other OEMs might as well have been gone no more than they were doing.
In 1990 it was through, all was left was the aftermarket companys doing what they could to help some of the riders at that point that were cast to the side by ALL THOSE BIG OEMs.
You catching on any.
Up untill say 4 years ago the aftermarket companys was who was keeping it alive & building the atv scene up to want it is today.

Do you see a pattern being set, this getting kicked to the side by the OEMs is getting old. History has a pattern of repeating itself & who can understand why its alway the atv thats got to be beat up on. Its not like that in the dirt bike world, why the atv.
I dont want to even start on the new atvs offered by the OEMs, they are all 4 stroke & that a complete nother thread right by itself.

i think what he's saying is that back in the day when quads and trikes were getting really big, the OEM's (honda susucki yamaha etc) got "freaked out" so to speak and pulled the plugs on everything sport quad oriented. Now they're starting to get really big again, and he's saying that history repeats itself. I think.

I think it would be great if honda brought it back as a 2 stroke, fuel injected or not. If they decided to do it as a 4 stroke, they better do their homework and not just put out a glorified 250EX, cause they'll piss money away.

[370banshee]

Way to turn a clean thread into porn filth! OMG I'm leaving. This is so wrong! Haha!

Out of all of the big 4 companies (Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha) Honda has the least amount of balls so they'd be the last company to bring back a 2 stroke high performance quad.

I just wish one of the big 4 would try anything new with a 2-stroke motor. I mean, these companies are claiming that they are stopping production on 2-strokes because no one wants them anymore, but who has even tried something new in the past few years? I started a thread called 'the all new banshee', and IMO Yamaha would sell a shit load of banshee's if they would come out with 'the all new'. I think the same for the 250r or lt, I wish someone would just take a chance, I would buy one ( even though I would come home to divorce papers on the counter )
