1998 Yamaha Banshee 350 – Rugged Classic, Still Unmatched
At the heart of the Banshee is a 347 cc, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder two-stroke engine that delivers a robust ~34 horsepower—enough to rocket you to speeds near 75 mph in stock condition . This powerplant doesn’t rely on complex power valves; it’s a purist’s setup with a reed-valve induction system and dual Mikuni 26 mm carburetors for crisp throttle response .
The engine breathes life into a six-speed manual transmission, providing fluid control whether you’re easing into a ride or hitting top gear . Starting is reliably done via kick-start—no starter motor to complicate things, just classic, direct engagement .
Built for control and stability, the Banshee features independent double-wishbone front suspension with adjustable preload, and a rear swingarm with linkage, offering around 9.1 inches front and 8.7 inches rear suspension travel for a truly capable ride . Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear ensure you have the stopping power to match the machine’s aggressive pace.
The Banshee’s frame is compact yet strong, measuring just under 73 inches long and around 43 inches wide with a seat height near 32 inches—low and sporty, aiding control and comfort . Other measured specs include a ground clearance of about 5.3 inches and a dry weight of approximately 386 pounds .
Lighting wasn’t an afterthought: twin 35W halogen headlights and a functional taillight ensure visibility when dusk falls . And while Yamaha discontinued U.S. sales after 2006, production continued in select markets like Canada and Australia for years after—the Banshee’s appeal never waned
Why the 1998 Banshee Still Matters
The Banshee isn’t simply a machine—it’s a legacy. Its weight-to-power ratio, responsive engine, and nimble chassis make it one of the most exciting sport ATVs ever built. Riders describe its ride as a “roller-coaster on wheels,” delivering an unmatched sense of speed and control—one that’s “priceless” for enthusiasts
Moreover, decades later, the Banshee remains easy to maintain and modify, with wide aftermarket support keeping these quads alive and kicking in dunes, trails, and mud. This blend of nostalgia, performance, and community support keeps its value—not just monetary but emotional—high among buyers
