1999 YAMAHA BANSHEE 350

1999 Yamaha Banshee 350 – Legendary Speed Meets Unmatched Character

At its core lies a 347 cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin, two-stroke engine delivering a raw and unfiltered ride. With dual Mikuni 26 mm carburetors, a kick-start ignition, and a six-speed manual transmission, it’s a hands-on machine that demands connection. Expect roughly 34 horsepower stamped from the factory, with a performance-conscious design that rewards both throttle and tuning.

Chassis & Suspension

The tubular steel frame provides a balanced, responsive foundation, while independent double-wishbone front suspension (with 9.1″ travel) and a swing-arm rear setup (8.7″ travel) keep the ride surprisingly smooth—even across rugged terrain.

Brakes & Wheels

Stopping is precise thanks to dual hydraulic disc brakes up front and a single disc in the rear. Wrapped in all-terrain rubber—21×7-10 front, 20×10-9 rear—your grip is dialed in whether on mud, sand, or hard-pack.

Dimensions & Weight

At approximately 386 lb dry and about 405 lb wet, it’s light in mass but heavy on feel. Ground clearance stands around 5.3″, seat height at 31.5″, with a compact 73″ L × 43.3″ W × 42.5″ H footprint that’s just right for both maneuverability and control. Fuel capacity holds a solid 3.2 gallons.

Iconic Style & Build

Dressed in Yamaha’s signature blue with black and white accents, the ’99 Banshee carries classic dual headlights, a sculpted seat, skid plates, nerf bars, and a durable rear grab bar. Its aggressive aesthetics match its spirited performance head-on.
