I've always been more of a MX guy...Banshee is my favorite quad hands down though. Even the little Blaster I had was super fun and whippy, its DEFINITELY a two stroke thing. I just LOVE smokers, no matter what its on, Stihl chainsaws, RC enginess, KX250...yes please. I also love turbine engines, but I don't have one of those...yet
This makes me happy. I mainly race motocross on my kx450 but I have had seven banshees and a yfz450r. Last banshee was my 421 cub so I’m happy to see a company do a banshee build in 2019. Proves they are not dead!
can't 2 stroke are dying ... for legal reason.. i mean mostly sound and ecologique stuff... most scooter are 4 stroke...... like the good old 125 nsr... 2 stroke... its a rare bike now it are all 4 stroke now and top at 100-120kmh... while the 2stroke 125 goes 160kmh (with me and my oncle on it...) anyway there wont be new 2 strokes in europe that is for sure. i guess the rest of the world aint far off so yeah.. why make a 2stroke if most country may not even sell it anymore...
Some of my best childhood memories in the early 90's were of me and my buddies and our Banshee's. Easy to work on, very reliable and made amazing power pretty easy. Electric like torque. The only thing that sucked was the suspension, you couldn't push them hard or they'd bite!
You're totally right! The suspension on these things is terrible haha. As long as you're in the smooth sand you're okay. But don't get near that choppy stuff!-Chase
Nice builds. I had an absolutely showroom quality 05 Banshee a few year's back. One owner with practically no miles. Always wanted to do a build on it but couldn't bring myself to tear it apart and kept her completely stock. I took it riding at a buddies house one day and parked it under a tree while we went inside to grab some lunch. A few minutes later I hear a huge crash. I ran outside to see what all the ruckus was about. Turns out a massive tree limb broke away from the tree around 40 feet up and landed directly on my Banshee. She was still in tack and ran but the rear end of the frame was bent along with the axle. The limb was so heavy the axle was in the ground and the impact blew the rear shock completely. I kept her for a while but got sick everytime I looked at it. So I eventually sold it on to someone else who was thrilled to get it. Very fun quad and very tough to have survived the impact from that huge tree branch.
The first thing you see looking at a banshee is not the twin cylinders. Its definitely the badass look. Sickest looking quad ever made, sure you notice the motor too but definitely not first haha. Probably the nost iconic and well known quad
Pretty cool for you guys to finally do a banshee, the aftermarket parts for those is unreal, you guys need to add more parts to your inventory, you guys would have way more banshee guys going to you Like myself
@jdog942 why not there snowmobiles with 2 strokes i don't think it nothing do with EPA it the company who is selling them . if there still making snowmobiles with 2-strokes i don't see a problem
Everyone is saying bring the Banshee back. I say bring the RZ back too! Nothing on the street is finer than a 2-stroke sport bike. Makes an R6 look like a bank manager's bike. They just bring out the hooligan in anyone.

Just bought myself an old 1999 Honda 400EX, I'll slowly restore it. Shes in pretty good shape for how old she is. Love the quads at the dunes. So much more fun than SxSs
Rocky Mountain ATV MC *Thank you!* 😀👍 If you are ever in far Northern California I would be happy to show you around our neck of the woods. Google the Shasta Chappie OHV Area near Redding, California. Lots of great dirt trails to explore here for ATVs and side by sides.
FMF’s are actually great all around. Arguably better all around than T5’s. Not as much top end as Shearers, CPI’s or Vito’s, but they do great from bottom to top
Because he managed to do a deal with FMF. He shows off FMF pipes on his banshee build on his channel and FMF knock him money off or send him the pipes for free. Same as most of the parts he used in the build no doubt
stvnmoto i bet it’s a blast!! Riding in the dunes is the one thing I never got to do. We had some huge sand pits in Templeton, MA that had some massive hills that were fun though. I skim through Craigslist from time to time hoping to trip over a deal I can’t refuse. 😃
i had one chillin in the barn and sometime last year it went missing... I'm still super pissed about it... been planning a build for years and now i have to buy another one to do it...
The Yamaha banshee is the most exciting sport quad the company ever produced. Compare Yamaha’s propensity for cutting edge performance in the 80s to the sleepers they produce today. Case n point - the market has been begging for a modern Sport/Utility quad based on the Grizzly platform in twin cylinder 100 horse 850 cc UTV twin. Sadly big departure in Yamaha culture from bleeding edge to comatose sleeper in 2020.
I’m debating on buying one next summer. I either want a banshee, trx250r, quadracer/quadzilla or maybe a yfz450 or a raptor 700. I do a lot of riding in my backyard and trail riding so idk what to really go with. I like 2 strokes and 4 strokes. Got 6000$ to spend so ima buy something nice.
I sold my 88 250r and bought a new raptor 700 and a new yfz450r and never looked back but staying that anytime I get on 1 of my shess 97,03 it always put a smile on my face...
They're great because of how easy they tune. They're basically plug and play, no messing with different jets. You might have to make a minor adjustment with the metering rod but that's it. Anyone I've talked to that has a Lectron really likes it. - Chase
The iconic sound of a banshee is insane the scream that this quad has is not like the roar most of the modern newer quads have
2 and 4 wheel riders all love and respect these rigs. Nothing like em, the sound, ohh the sound!
Dont forget the powerband!!!!
They call it the pucker factor!

I'll take one

Regilio Bouma I like and prefer 4 strokes cheeper to run and use less gas but 2 strokes are fun
I like that you didn’t chop the fenders
I do like the fenders more but some look pretty clean if cut right.
Josey Wales just personal opinion I mean with fenders it looks classic without it looks modern
Ronnie mac would be disappointed here.
You are a smart man
The baddest ATV ever made!!!!
Nope it's the quadzilla
Nope it's the 250r

Between the Banshee and Honda 250r's they definitely were the king's of that era.
Wow rich guy here 🙂
My girlfriend told me i had to choose between her and my 4Mil.Lets just say "SHEE" is still with me....LOL
youre a good man and made the right choice lmao
Lol I see what you did there.
Mine said it’s me or the weed ... she left.
@@joski9030 you made the right choice . im wake n baking right now . about to load up and go brake in the new rebuilt motor on my trx250r lol
I have a cute bike to she’s fine as hell
All I wanted was to be able to listen how that beast sound like!!!!!!!!
Agreed this is one machine that needs to be heard ripping not another sound like it
Raw sound. No editing bullshit
From personal experience, it sounds so much better being on it and riding up little sahara at 50 mph

It's pretty awesome to look at! Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video-Chase
I see a friggin tractor with those lights and the stance. The Raptors look like a hornet or wasp. I want a 2 stroke tractor.
Thanks for including link to the parts and costs involved. Always have liked/admired these ATVs
Thanks for checking it out!
This yellow banshee is sick. Perfect. Nicely done
Pretty cool for you guys to finally do a banshee, the aftermarket parts for those is unreal, you guys need to add more parts to your inventory, you guys would have way more banshee guys going to you Like myself
The yellow banshee just gave me ideas for my own banshee!!
Tell Yamaha to bring banshees back
jdog942 “race use only” like all the other things
With all the sissies of this decade....good luck. I would love to see it, but it only takes one person sadly
@jdog942 why not there snowmobiles with 2 strokes i don't think it nothing do with EPA it the company who is selling them . if there still making snowmobiles with 2-strokes i don't see a problem
nice to see some atv vids. i get so sick of youtubers only uploading dirt bike content while completely ignoring the other half

That thing is absolutely gorgeous.
I had a 1987
Banshee Red White and Gold loved that bike
Nice! Thanks for watching.
Everybody sits down and watches when the banshees come out
I have a banshee with 20,000 in it. It's 430ccs with a mono block a big bore cpi pipes among other things.
Do a Honda 250R Build or a Quadzilla build
I can see a quad craze coming back.
Doubt it, old farts are moving on to rzr's lmao.
I think he may be right 10k to have fun ok 12 or 13k maybe .....25k for a utv no thanks im out
It actually is happening now at least out here in the Southwest. Banshees, Raptors, Trx450's etc...all shooting up in value on the used market

IMHO ported stock cylinder stock carb 4mil is best all around setup bang for buck. Pipes ....pick a set for where you want it to make power.
Yfz build, the best atv on the market right now
you made me want one this. I had warrior that replaced with a 06 700
Glad it still has the front fenders!
I had a 99 Banshee back in 99 it was so much fun...
Back on 82, I could throw a pigskin a quarter mile.
So much fun at the dunes no matter what mods you do.
I'm not a quad guy but I sure would be down to rip a banshee!
Black and yellow theme is killer
Mint video guys, rm atv mc you guys are the best!
What a beautiful machine is truly like the supra of quads
Awesome video! Such a cool machine, and the build is done perfect!
Thanks for the positive feedback and for watching!
Yes it is
Beautiful Banshees! Great videos guys, really well done!
You are not.doing mods to yours?
@@FernandoGomez-yx7ev I will have an update on my Banshee posted soon :-)

Awesome machine,glad I got one
Best ATV ever made
The Banshee needs a rebirth! Come on Yamaha...You came kinda close with the Raptor but, not quite. Suzuki LT500R is still king though!!
I am 13 and I have a yellow one, they are super nice
Best quad ever!
Sounds so nostalgic, my dad had a red white and black banshee, and my uncle had a suped up blue one not sure what year tho
Great Video I love those 2 strokes. Rocky Mountain ATV Mc plz make a Yamaha Blaster 200 vid. Please
I love that banshee 💯
So clean... awesome build!
Great friggen video! Awesome build!
I want one so bad, but my 2 stroke dirt bike good enough
Good looking bikes.
That’s one sick banshee 👍🏻😎🇬🇧
Love the white one
The first thing I notice is the placement of the radiator and lights. No other quad even comes close to that Banshee look.
Where do I buy the screen
Why use fmf pipes on a dune quad? Makes much more sense to go with shearers, t5s, Vito’s, etc..
FMF’s are actually great all around. Arguably better all around than T5’s. Not as much top end as Shearers, CPI’s or Vito’s, but they do great from bottom to top
Because he managed to do a deal with FMF. He shows off FMF pipes on his banshee build on his channel and FMF knock him money off or send him the pipes for free. Same as most of the parts he used in the build no doubt
I believe many people would like a pipe comparison in a dyno, there are so many options for this model.
T5s are like the ultimate banshee pipes
awesome video , super awesome quad
I miss my Banshees.. I had an 87, 88, 91, 96 and my last was an 03. Needless to say, none of them were stock.
Dang! That is a to of banshees!

Thanks Guys for this informative video, and the quads look tight.
I had the RZ 350 street bike back in the day
2 strokes are so fun
this video helped me out a lot!!!!! thanks guys
That looks like fun.
MAKE ATVS GREAT AGAIN!
Love me a good looking banshee
That's a banshee? Never seen one that wasn't 20 ft long and broke down.
classic machines now a days.
Who's winning around a dirt track: this banshee or a Quadzilla build of similar caliber?!
Man I want one
BADASS!!!
Great video
Do a collab with Michael Sabo and compare the bikes
Great video !! Much needed inspiration!!
If you build it...they will come!
Awesome video

Wanna line up that yellow 4 mil with my 05 trx450r? ;) I’ll make the drive down to little Sahara.
2:07 Yamaha could’ve actually said “Double screw that!” And they could’ve also put the RD500 motor in it.🤣
That would’ve been freakin sweet
I had the yfz450 special edition that matched the banshee special edition
Need to do the trx250r
More 2 stroke atv videos please

Makes sense.

If u haven't bought one yet get the 250r. It is the most reliable and best handling quad there is and you can really make them haul ass if u want.
I sold my 88 250r and bought a new raptor 700 and a new yfz450r and never looked back but staying that anytime I get on 1 of my shess 97,03 it always put a smile on my face...
He thought about everything!!
Can you guys do a trx250r build or atc 250r build?
Also, he didn’t have it ported? I know he said he wanted reliability but could even just do a clean up port. Would compliment that 4 mil a lot
Wanted reliability but used a hot rod crank and did zero headporting?
How did you guys like the Lectrons on the Banshee? I'm thinking hard on investing in a set
They're great because of how easy they tune. They're basically plug and play, no messing with different jets. You might have to make a minor adjustment with the metering rod but that's it. Anyone I've talked to that has a Lectron really likes it. - Chase
Stocks carbs are 26mm
Amazing build!👍😎 Could that swingarm handle woods riden?
thanks for your videos
I want one
i miss my banshee
I wish that tusk would make an axle for a trx250r.
Lectron carbs are great
The day my dad sold his 87 banshee was a sad day.
Great job playing music over the sound of the engine both times...................................
Great video, only thing you didnt mention was the transmission. Are you running OEM or Aftermarket?
Thanks! This quad still has the stock transmission in it.
There’s so many people who have never experienced the banshees power
Glad I'm not one of them.
