This quad is even more amazing in person and insane to ride! Really appreciate you and my dad for making this happen and it's awesome to have the videos to show the hard work that went into building this machine. Gonna be a machine I cherish my whole life. Hopefully my dumbass doesn't roll it lmao
Man this was by far the most fun and rewarding build I've done so far. Give a thumbs up if you follow Wildcat! How do you guys think the 92' restomod came out!? Oh... and you ROOOOOOCK!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Friday night, a glass of Buffalo Trace bourbon and a hour long Sabo video. Doesn't get any better! Keep doing what you're doing. Your personality and sense of humor is what makes your videos great. Keep it up!
Really appreciate the build brother. Came in under budget and on time and quality and details were better than expected. Better than new. I know he was stoked to get it. Thanks for doing this for us.
Michael, I came across your channel about a week ago, the reason for this is because I have a passion for 2 strokes, in particular, Yamaha 2 strokes. Your work on this Banshee is next level, the quality and attention to detail, like I have never seen before, and with your willingness to share what you are doing, and how to do it, makes you a true, one-of-a-kind people. I fell in love with the Yamaha Banshee when I was 16 (nearly 3 decades ago), marshalling my first off-road racing event. I felt like the Banshees were more impressive to watch, and certainly hear, than even the v8 stadium trucks that were on track from time to time during those events as well. The Blaster too is a machine i will one day own, but it is the Banshee that fills my dreams of late. Those days were crazy, I even picked up a dude's finger and gave it back to him when he bailed on my corner, veteren rider on a YZ125 whipping the pants off the rest of the field (veteren's race had 125s and 250s in the race). He sadly never finished. I have been wanting to own and ride a Banshee since then. You sir, are a legend. Thank you for bringing this content to the world. Your subscriber numbers, in no way, reflect the quality of your production. Also, how to interact with your audience, makes us feel like we are there, with you, personally. I love it. Again, THANK YOU!
I cant believe you went out of your way for us and layed all the parts out for us! You are the king man! I love every build you do! Its hard to choose the best but I have a soft spot with the throwbacks because I get to see the bikes I missed out on growing up before the electric stuff takes over. Dont worry I will still be here watching you if you have to resort to build EV quads!
Dude, your channel rocks. Your restorations are incredibly thorough, and the attention to detail is great. Love the casual and informative presentation style, the editing and pacing make these hour+ long videos a joy to watch. Great work on the quads, and on the videos.
Best thing to watch after getting home from work and got Miller Lites in hand. On a serious note: the paint done by Bonehead looks so OEM I can't even tell if it's restored or well preserved. Really damn good work.
I haven't left a comment in a while but I've been watching. Man I can't believe how dedicated you are. Fixing the Raptor transmission, painting the plastics to 92 theme, buying another seat to try and match ❤️ love you my guy
I remember playing with the 1992’s on the showroom floor at the Yamaha dealer when I was 12 years old vividly. How outstanding seeing a new one again. 🤙
I know this was a year ago. You may not see this but im a new member of your channel. Youve inspired me to start a sport quad channel of my own. I recently bought an 08 honda TRX700XX and an 04 Yamaha Blaster. Had to rebuild the top end of the 700 and still working on wiring the blaster. Thank you for your inspiration. I hope to get into the community soon.
Man this is awesome to hear. Thank you for being a member and supporting and good luck building your future as a creator! Come to the Badlands Bash in June and meet a bunch of the guys 🤘
UPDATE - NOW AVAILABLE! Retro Banshee Tee - bit.ly/3VezbsP Retro Banshee Hoodie - bit.ly/3MiZM3P Wildcat 421 Retro Style Tee and Hoodie will be available soon guys! I'll update the links as soon as its ready! 🤘
Seeing these banshee videos makes me want my banshee back even more. I live about 40 mins from Nashville n About 10 years ago I had one that was pretty nice with decent amount of work and some pos stole it straight off the porch as our garage was being built. Still have the title to this day n would be great if the cops would have gotten it back cuz I gave them the name of person that had it in there back yard but the cops said there was nothing they could do!
next time u guys go to bad lands, u really need me there as a guide. I know those trails like the back of my hand. and theres so much cool stuff u guys havnt even seen yet! i will do my best to get out there next time u go. the time b4 last i went there but u guys was at the drag fields and i didnt find ya cuz i dont go back that way! those trails back there suck, just mud holes every where
Mike your videos are an inspiration for greatness man. Love your work...my brother recently showed me your channel back in April this year trying to get me to show my 97 banshee some love, have had since 06 and live this machine. A local Philadelphia banshee (south jersey / cherryhill) brother is bucks county PA and he just got a new raptor 700 that he loves. Going to F.R.O in PA up by Hazelton this weekend!
That quad is so nice I do remember seeing those 92 banshee in the atv shop as a kid at 6999 $ CAN and thought it was a little too much but now day would have been well worth it Most other quads are not popular and you can't find any of them around yet Banshee are still popular after 30 yrs Glad to see you saved one of those great quads from going to the junk yard 👍 🤘
You ROCK MICHAEL outside the seat cover looks the same as the plastic and after a while they'll start to blend in wonderful build Happy birthday my friend 🎂🎉🎂🎉
awesome to see that this was built for a youtuber i actually know such a beautiful bike and props to you for putting in those back to back hours can see the crazy dedication you had for this also that laser etching is sweet
Legit the definition of the 90s era in a banshee build! Absolutely Amazing! Nothing will ever beat that one off sound of a screaming banshee! So glad I got to enjoy this sound of greatness growing up!! Happy late birthday bro my birthday was oct1 an i also turned 30!!
Man I discovered this channel just less than a week ago and have been binge watching ever since I can't get enough really buddy! Doing an awesome job and are really making me wish I had something in the driveway to start thrashing on. I've always been a sport bike guy but over the last 10 years everybody here rides sxs and 4wd atvs so I've turned to that route cause the places they ride aren't great for sport quads but really makes me want to get another one and actually restore one and start going back to the dunes!
hey Mike... gotta say your hard work has defiantly paid off... this has to be IMO the nicest one to date really digging the retro colors... looks crisp and clean and oh does that motor sounds incredible ... and thank you for all the work you put into the builds and the channel
Definitely right! my warrior's tweaked and it's right at the steering stem up top. Had to bend the bracket back and ended up using two fender washers to make it true
crazy to see one of my favorite youtubers make a dope atv for another favorite youtuber of mine. crazy to think i been watching wildcat since i was 9... im now 21
Funny enough I was actually behind Mike at a Subway and at first I was hesitant to say anything because I wasn't 100% sure it was him. When he finally got to the end of the station, the lady asked if he wanted anything else on his sub and he asked her to put a little anti seize on it and that's when I for sure knew it was Mike!
I have fmf sst and they are great ! A bit more mid range power than the paul turner high rev i had but both sound great . Its a 353 , trail porting +4 timing boyesen reed valves, oem carbs 27.5 pilot 290 main 4th clip on the needle. A bit rich on top during summer but perfect at night ! I pull wheelie in 4th gear with the clutch 15/40 gearing
Mike, that quad is just badass! Excellent build quality. Really awesome birthday gift. I know rich and he is pretty cool guy, awesome of him to surprise his son with that.
Awesome! I think it's easiest to use wire cutters to just cut off the back of the rivets, and just leave that drill out of the equation! Awesome build sir!
Alba has been around since the 80's. They're a very reputable shop. Back before they were Alba Yamaha, they were a Honda dealership. My dad bought his 1985 ATC250R from them. He passed it down to me and I'm currently doing a frame up restoration on it. Hoping to be done by the end of the month.
Ohhh sounds so good! Looks so good! Rips just rite! Jerk didnt wave! Oh well! Listen to that thing scream! Its the perfect MONSTER! Surprised the cops didnt come with that thing howling LOL!!! My neighbors hate me and its just on stereo! Gotta be hard to give it away! Also, dude thank you for buying 2 harnesses to show us! Thats huge buddy!
The bell yeah at 43:54 was something everyone who rides or races or builds knows and feels. It was something I’ve done so much damn times! This is seriously such a bitchin quad! Keep up the fantastic work mike!
Bad ass videos. I used to ride quads when younger and my back could handle it. These days its a Polaris Ranger. I send all my friends over here to watch you. I told them to subscribe and hit that bell!. Keep the videos coming Michael! Extremely entertaining and very informative! Best quad channel on YT IMO
This quad is even more amazing in person and insane to ride! Really appreciate you and my dad for making this happen and it's awesome to have the videos to show the hard work that went into building this machine. Gonna be a machine I cherish my whole life. Hopefully my dumbass doesn't roll it lmao
Happy Belated Birthday man and congrats on the new toy badass
It's been a blast getting all the pieces together to make this happen man! And lets be real, it's gonna role at badlands the first trip out 😂
You got yourself a nice one for sure injoy and don't roll it but if you do make sure you get it on video and don't get hurt
Where did you get the dealer label?
I watch all of Mike's videos but somehow missed something. So your dad had Mike build this banshee for your birthday gift?
Man this was by far the most fun and rewarding build I've done so far. Give a thumbs up if you follow Wildcat! How do you guys think the 92' restomod came out!? Oh... and you ROOOOOOCK!!! 🤘🤘🤘
The heel Garuda go in front of the pegs not behind them lol that’s why it didn’t fit
Gaurds
Mike, your builds are mind blowing!
@@DUNEATV glad you like them man! Thank you
Good job Mike, you always go the extra mile, build turned out great.
Friday night, a glass of Buffalo Trace bourbon and a hour long Sabo video. Doesn't get any better! Keep doing what you're doing. Your personality and sense of humor is what makes your videos great. Keep it up!
Like wise but it's Jameson Limited Reserve 18 for me been a long week and been waiting on this video to drop myself
Knob Creek old fashioned
Hookers and cocaine would polish that night off well.
Damn, hes a lucky man to get a quad built by you!
He's a good dude and works his ass off, definitely deserves it!
@OPOL sounds like a fuel issue maybe to lean
Check your floats
Really appreciate the build brother. Came in under budget and on time and quality and details were better than expected. Better than new. I know he was stoked to get it. Thanks for doing this for us.

👍🏻👍🏻 Mike your builds are truly next level! Just unbelievable!!!
Great job Mike! Tell Dad thanks for helping, he’s awesome!!! Badass quad guys. Congratulations Tyler, Happy Birthday!!!
100% did not see this build being for wildcat, it all makes sense now. It's been so cool to see BOTH of you guys grow on youtube.
Amazing work man, such a beautiful machine. These builds just keep going up in quality, your hard work clearly shows on all of the builds you do

What's the best jetting for a banshee with fmf gold series pipes and vforce 4?
Kevin is the go to banshee guy. He helped me out with an air box about 6-7 years ago for one of our banshees. He’s an awesome dude
The crispiness in that dap up in the garage was on point😂😮💨
Mike stepping it up every single time!!! I’ll say it every time,best builder on You Tube! Another Masterpiece…… 👍

Thank you for the love man - this is an awesome compliment. I know this comment is over a year old but I hope your FRO trip was legit! 🤘
Banshee has always been my dream bike. The raw power of that 350 twin man, and the sound is like no other. Gotta love it. Sick build man!
That quad is so nice I do remember seeing those 92 banshee in the atv shop as a kid at 6999 $ CAN and thought it was a little too much but now day would have been well worth it
Most other quads are not popular and you can't find any of them around yet Banshee are still popular after 30 yrs
Glad to see you saved one of those great quads from going to the junk yard 👍 🤘
Man, I have no words, I'm speechless and all I've done is watch the video...wow.

Mike…you looked like a proud father! 👍👍👍
I've been waiting for this video and as always , the build looks dope 👌.This channel deserves way more subscribers

Damn dude, much respect for you Sabo for doing that..i wish i vould win a quad or had one to ride..miss them days dude..you rock
4:18 the seat color is perfect I’d leave it
When Michael Sabo posts it makes my Friday even better!
The bell yeah at 43:54 was something everyone who rides or races or builds knows and feels. It was something I’ve done so much damn times! This is seriously such a bitchin quad! Keep up the fantastic work mike!
This banshee is so sick. I wish I still had my 94!
Scam central!?
Banshees are the best sounding quads. Love the sound
Hell Yeah, Brother. Love the detail....holler at me if you wanna go ride in West point TN. Do...not, change! Let's ride!
Love the color combination. Great job Mike 💪😁
Bad ass videos. I used to ride quads when younger and my back could handle it. These days its a Polaris Ranger. I send all my friends over here to watch you. I told them to subscribe and hit that bell!. Keep the videos coming Michael! Extremely entertaining and very informative! Best quad channel on YT IMO
Another dominant quad bro. Can't wait to see what's next
I agree on the candle idea all day long 👋
I’m was so excited when I saw this video drop 😂😂

Soo crazy that you built this for wildcat so freaking crazy but a very well deserved quad💪🏽🔥
