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!
