1998 YAMAHA BANSHEE 350

1998 Yamaha Banshee 350 – The Legendary Off-Road Beast

At the heart of the Banshee 350 lies a 347cc liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder, two-stroke engine — a rare configuration that provides exceptional acceleration and top-end power. With dual Mikuni carburetors and a reed valve induction system, the Banshee responds instantly to throttle input, delivering a fierce roar and adrenaline-pumping speed. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, giving riders complete control over their ride.

Chassis & Suspension

Built on a sturdy tubular steel frame, the 1998 Banshee balances durability with agility. Its suspension features independent double wishbone front suspension with adjustable shocks, and a swingarm rear suspension with a monoshock, allowing the bike to absorb rough terrain effortlessly. The Banshee’s wide stance and low center of gravity contribute to superior cornering and stability on trails and dunes alike.

Braking & Wheels

Stopping power comes from front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, providing reliable and consistent performance in varied conditions. The wheels are wrapped in aggressive, knobby tires designed for maximum grip on dirt, mud, sand, and rocks.

Design & Comfort

This model retains the iconic Yamaha Banshee styling — aggressive lines, bold plastics, and a low-profile seat that keeps you locked in during high-speed maneuvers. The minimalist design focuses on function, but it still offers rider comfort with ergonomically placed handlebars and footpegs.

• Engine: 347cc, liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder, two-stroke
