Description
The Yamaha Banshee 350 is a high‑revving, performance‑oriented sport ATV powered by a twin‑cylinder, liquid‑cooled 347 cc two‑stroke engine with dual Mikuni 26 mm carburettors and a 6.5 : 1 compression ratio.

(Justapedia) The chassis features independent double‑wishbone front suspension with 9.1″ travel and a swing‑arm style rear suspension with 8.7″ travel, tuned for aggressive terrain handling. (yamahaworld.tripod.com) Front braking is provided by dual hydraulic discs, and the rear by a hydraulic disc, giving strong, consistent stopping power. (motorsdb.com) With a dry weight of approximately 386 lbs (175 kg) and a seat height around 31.5″, it offers a compact yet potent footprint for its class. (webBikeWorld) Stock specifications list a top speed near 75 mph for the unmodified machine, making the Banshee one of the fastest sport ATVs of its era. (webBikeWorld) Production spanned from 1987 to 2012 (depending on region), and the Banshee remains venerated for its raw two‑stroke character and strong aftermarket support. (Wikipedia) Designed for experienced riders seeking adrenaline‑fueled off‑road performance, the Banshee 350 blends high‑rev two‑stroke power with nimble handling and a performance‑driven attitude.
