The sound of the 350 twin is unmistakable and Never Gets Old!! I've had a Quadzilla and a CR500 In the past, but honestly nothing sounds better than a Piped Banshee!!😮

@lucascady4992. Go check out Allan Mallard's channel He's form England He builds the amazing stuff 4 -5 i think 6 cylinder 2 strokes He's even taken 2 1980 KZ 1300 6 cylinder made a 12 cylinder.

[@WingStop-zv1sk]

I saw this bike for sale

[@RDEnduro]

This was a good idea, the dual pipes look sickk!!! I would have low sided immediatly in that snow

[@randomOAS7]

Fitting that you guys rode it in the snow, because that thing sounds like a twin cylinder snowmobile!

[@theoneandonly2421]

I love the fact they put the two banshee headlights on there lol, thats awesome. I want to build a little blaster with the Banshee motor on it.

[@chandlertremblay1128]

Better to just upgrade a banshee with suspension. Unless you are sub 100lbs. The blaster is probably too small

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

Agreed and thought same thing when I saw the headlights. lol very cool!

[@David-hl9bw]

The two stroke sound never gets old, I like it now just as much as I did in the 1990’s.

[@davidshell1738]

Right on 👍 A fine show for Two Stroke Tuesday!!👏

[@joeyholthusen6495]

Wish you could mass produce those!

[@douglaspropperii5477]

We need more twin cylinder 2 strokes in dirt bikes lmao

[@Bryan-jd7os]

We do indeed! That thing is bananas! The sound of that Banshee motor is absolutely unmistakable. So cool.

[@StuartBlake-iz6rf]

Now that's creative. East Coast boys are having some fun.

[@johnkopek7979]

That thing was for sale for awhile here on long island. Glad to see it went to a good home.

[@rubezahlmountainworks7974]

I love the sound of that banshee swapped bike. I keep watching this over and over. You got quite the shred factory!

[@metalted6128]

So cool!! I had to watch it twice!! And share it, to my gear head 2 stroke buddies!! They were just as amazed!!! Super sweet video!!

[@timewilltella39]

Wow That is truly a gorgeous thing Thank you for showing me this kaplan family Would love to see how they did it I want to build my own

[@ZRG22]

Damn that has some serios power. The way it pushes through the snow is unreal.

[@mikehebronsr264]

Just watching JR rip that thing makes me smile. I have rode a banshee before I can't imagine that in a bike frame that's awesome.

[@jameywingler3460]

Thank you for the great work on these videos ,showing all the bikes especially ones we loved as younger men lol It reinforced to me at50 we never have to give up our love and memories of riding dirtbikes , dual sport or otherwise

[@Mikey-wf9py]

Man I'm jealous wow what a machine... It was in a motorcycle at one point, but on that the exhaust goes under neath but in a dirt bike. Honestly, that exhaust set up from the banshee you work perfectly because it's high up. It's actually kind of badass and works better than you expect it too dammm

[@andrewpinheiro7202]

Yamaha banshees sound so bad ass . It’s the only quad I ever owned . It was fun just to slide around everywhere and haul ass.my buddies dad said it best it sounded like about a million pissed off bees!

[@TerryMidcap]

Dude when I'm pissed off and just want to twist heads off I watch you guys and man y'all calm me lol I love Kaplan cycles

[@cordwelch6077]

I have a banshee 350 , That bike is crazy !! Love it !

[@nickolairoll5773]

Omg just when I thought it couldn’t get any better !!! Man ya can’t beat the sound of a Banshee keep it up fellas

[@ehrenkrause9861]

I could see Suzuki making similar dirt bike like that They always like to push the boundaries for power. I still have my 03 RM 250 still second owner ☺️👍

[@mattmarshall2232]

Twin cylinder two strokes are the best sound

[@mjones2305]

Impressed with how crisp the jetting was in the cold. Banshee's were always tricky to dial in the jetting in the cold.

[@mattlennymoore282]

You do the two stroke community proud, love the enthusiasm too.

[@nonharrybulz9380]

This is a top 10 episode!! Thanks for all your work Kaplan team .

[@ACmotorcycleguy]

That XRSHEE is freakin sick dude! , Jr is on top for 2024, just like his pops, also seeing the vintage Suzuki Quadzillas was awesome too, I wish I had some snow here, so I could do this, but unfortunately I don't, thanks for the awesome video guys 👍👌

[@ephenj]

Man I saw that bike for sale on Facebook market place even messaged the guy. Top notch build really nice guys sent over ton of photos of the build.

Hey, 27 years ago my 250 Tecate and Yamaha RD350 (2 stroke) got married, made extended swing arm also. Bought chambers from Dennis Kirk, ran along outside of extended foot pegs. Was fast though, running up and down Rainey river on the Canadian border. 80+mph

[@troyscherr5054]

Love the RD, RZ, Banshee engines. Also the GPX & SRX 338,340,440 sound quite nice. Especially the 81- what a beast that was.

I'm so excited I'm shaking! 😅 Every biker knows that feeling ❤

[@AudiophileTubes]

2-strokes are a total BLAST! Even my 'lowly' Honda MB5 is fun, and turns heads!

[@mattjacomos2795]

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

Like ditch the gear train and some how cvt it? It be interesting!

[@ashflame6888]

@@rabbithomesteading3797 No no no. The snowbike kit is beltdrive. Some snowbike kits are chain drive some are belt drive. Belt drive is always the way to go with the snow kits. They all have a chain off the countershaft that goes "into the snow kit" then has to go through a series of "pullies/sprokets" I guess is the way to explain it. But the ones that convert to a belt free up so much power and are much much lighter. They are always more expensive kits but its 10000% worth it.

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

@@ashflame6888 Oh belt like instead of chain from primary to secondary rear drive use a belt? No cvt and use bikes gear train still .. I think I gotcha. never heard but cool!

Fun on the new 2 STROKE snow plow

[@StoopidSmith323]

Worst part it is that yamaha did in fact make that bike just never sent it to america. Well not quite but pretty close. Look up a TDR250. Had the motor from the TXR250 so pretty much a 250cc banshee motor but these bikes had power valves. Such a shame we got the shaft on that bike.

Awesome bike! One of the best sounding banshees I've heard. That gas gas 125 is looking pretty sweet too,wow😮

I grew up in New Hampshire and never put my dirt bikes away but every spring I had to replace rear wheel bearings and spokes 😂❤

How does it handle? Seems like that extra width may keep it a bit more stable despite the snow

Looks like you can cancel your snowplow contract for the rest of the season. Jr just has to show up early to get the parking lot cleared before the troops arrive for fun, a mean work.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Hell Yes! That was one awesome 2 Stroke Tuesday! All great bikes! That Banshee 350 and the Quadracer 250 Jr and Wizard were tearing it up on were sick. I first learned about Yamaha Banshee's existing in 1993, when I had bought my Yamaha 1993 YZ 250 new. I raced a Banshee on a long straight away. We were side by side, until the Banshee walked me, when I was wide open. I was so impressed when I found out all I needed to know about Banshees. 😂😂😂😂....I'd love to have the opportunity to ride one someday. Would love to ride in that thick snow. Thanks again. That was awesome. ML&R.
