NEW MODEL Yamaha Banshee. April 2008

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 $7,999 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.
