Yes, Yamaha still makes the Banshee. Why? Because flat out nothing compares to the two-stroke twin cylinder fun machine.
Nothing else delivers the same kind of extreme excitement as the rev-happy 349cc liquid-cooled two-stroke engine that delivers ‘kick in the pants’ performance that has to be experienced to be believed! And with its winning combination of long-travel suspension, low overall weight and a long wheelbase – as well as the fastest acceleration in its class – the YFZ350 Banshee is still the top choice with serious racers and thrill-seeking sports riders.
Now for 2008 YMA is able to offer this popular and capable sports ATV at an incredible $7999 to give even better bang for your buck. Bolting a motorcycle GP-derived 350 twin into an ATV chassis was a bold and devious tactic on the part of our engineers when this most decorated veteran was very first conceived, and its list of dirt-track, desert race and other titles is second to none.
Word of warning: one ride and you may become addicted… there’s a hard core of Banshee enthusiasts out there who love this bug eyed legend. You will not be alone!
