madjimmax Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Any Banshee that you would possibly own would be the best year ever made. As long as it is yours its always better then everybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brugal Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 the best year of the banshee everyone told me the 87 They probably say that because 87 was the year Shee was born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamahaman244 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 They probably say that because 87 was the year Shee was born.

TwistedSheeRida Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 2001 cuz that is what year mine is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegalizeFreedom Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 They probably say that because 87 was the year Shee was born. I was told more than once that the 80's Banshees were faster stock then the newer models. I heard that after there were quite a few crashes Yamaha toned them down so there wasen't a ban. This could all be rumors but like I said, I've heard it quite a few times. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSH-alena-jol-EE Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 my clymers manual says that the 80\s banshees are 10 pounds lighter than the new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzly700 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 only way they would be faster is cause maybe the j-arms are lighter. but i doubt it would be noticeably. the engine is exactly the same a far as i know. whoever is telling you they toned them down is prolly full of it. someone will correct me if im wrong.

slopoke Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but all banshees were "toned" down. The engine originated in a steet bike called a RZ350 if memory serves me correctly. The engine on the bikes put out more hp than the banshee due inpart to carburation and intake system as well as the exaust. I am 99% certain as some of yall have said all banshee are the same as far as stock speed. I think the yellow ones are the fastest (lol) Other than j ams vs a arm and a couple years had 10" rear wheels thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
