Yamaha Banshee 350
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Built from 1987 to 2006 In the United States and is still being sold in Canada as of 07, the Yamaha Banshee is a two-stroke, twin cylinder all-terrain vehicle. Differences between years are minor, including color combinations, j-arms on early models (1987 to 1990) followed by a-arms on subsequent models, the addition of brake lights in late production machines(2002 and on), and minor differences in electrical connector styles. The Yamaha Banshee ranks among one of the best ATVs of all time, and has extensive aftermarket support.
