2005 SE YAMAHA BANSHEE 350

2005 SE Yamaha Banshee 350 – The Sport ATV That Still Rules the Trails

Under the seat, you’ll find a high-revving 347cc two-stroke twin-cylinder engine with reed-valve induction. Paired with dual 26 mm Mikuni carburetors and CDI ignition, it delivers around *34 horsepower, rockets you to heart-thumping speeds, and rewards you with visceral torque. The six-speed manual transmission offers precision control while the lightweight steel chassis keeps the power-to-weight ratio exciting and manageable.

Dynamic Handling That Connects

This Banshee’s suspension system lets you slice through terrain with confidence. The independent double-wishbone front suspension offers about 9.1 inches of travel, while the rear swing arm with adjustable shock delivers smooth feedback at around 8.7 inches. Both ends are backed by hydraulic disc brakes—dual in front and a single in the rear—for trusted stopping power.

Compact Yet Capable Dimensions

At just over 73 inches long, 43 inches wide, and 42.5 inches tall, the SE Banshee is compact—which makes it nimble in tight corners but still surprisingly stable at speed. A seat height of 31.5 inches and a comfortable ground clearance of roughly 5.3 inches let riders feel both connected and capable.

Classic Build, Ready to Ride

The robust steel frame and aluminum swing arm keep chassis weight in check, with a dry weight of around 386 lbs. With a fuel tank capacity of 3.2 gallons, you get trail satisfaction—without constant pit stops

Vintage Details That Matter

• Kick-start only, staying true to the original Banshee experience.

• Lugged with dual hydraulic front discs, a single rear disc, halogen headlights, and a tail light built for the dirt road.

• No reverse gear, enhancing the “pure ride” ethos.

• Limited to one seat—it’s a ride-it-yourself kind of machine.

These durable features offer a blend of nostalgia and rugged utility, preserving the riding culture that’s grown around every Crete edge and sand dune this ATV has conquered.

Why the 2005 SE Banshee Still Makes Sense

As a financial investment in your riding legacy, this Banshee offers superb value. It’s low-maintenance, parts-ready, and built on a platform revered by owners and racers alike. With a loyal following and timeless design, it not only holds value—it often gains it.
