Yamaha built the banshee with an engine based form the RZ350 race bike's 350cc 2-Stroke twin. They should have done a second bigger Banshee version based from the RZ500 race bike's 2-stroke four cyl.
Who remembers the original utvs? Honda pilot, odyssey.........Iive in a area in Missouri where they did lead mining, our hill climbs consist of almost straight up for 300 ft.......We also had Sand Drag tracks that used the same materials. Material was called "chat".....
Had or ridden both stock and modded banshees, 250r's a quadzilla, and quadracers. They all have their purpose. The power characteristic and rideability are completely different. A banshee has to be ridden like a 125 whereas the 500 has power everywhere. 250r and quad racers are better for tight and technical riding.
I better pick up a 350 twin 2 stroke before it becomes exstict that would be a motor to put in something dose any one remember the name of a Hill climb in Lancaster Ohio it was part of the national back in the day
I've had both and loved them both. I'm 300 lbs and the Banshee was a much better trail bike. The Zilla needed more RPM to make hills and shit trail riding...Im 2 stroke all the way!!! I'm patiently waiting for a 2 stroke cologne to come out !!!! 😁😁
Hahaha now I know you're lying. Banshee s are thee worst for trail riding. They are good for one thing. Going fast uphill that's it. Terrible looking, terrible handling, uncomfortable for long rides I could go on and on.
@@chaddowns4680 I have a banshee also and a blaster and a grizzly. I'm just saying 400ex is a better trail rig than a banshee kid. The sand dunes are where the banshee shines.
Stock vs stock frames up hill? Quadzilla! Because it's a bigger frame than the banshee, more stable less body english. Easier for less skilled riders 😉
Grow some balls. Run two at a time. It's called vertical Motocross. It comes more into play when people run out of ways to kill themselve. great spectator traction. Build it and they will come
There is so much aftermarket support for the 350 twin, its allmost a non-contest, but the 500s are hanging in there.
Duncan racing has a great build sheet for the LT500R..
Banshee and quadzilla, well named vehicles indeed!
Oh Yeah, Trq Monster QUADZILLA!
There is nothing like a screaming banshee
The banshee sounds sooo good!

Second banshee looked like it had a lot of power.
That Zilla omg 💪 Suzuki, best motorcycle brand in the world.
Yamaha bro
You wish 😂
Lol😂
That 2nd banshee had real fucking power.
I’ll take the quadzilla 10 out of 10 times
Never gets old, does it.
That was great. Those Quadzillas are a lot of quad.

I had a stock 94 banshee... You can't find them anymore at any price. I have a mint stock 89 though
@@AbcXyz-rn2lz stock is real hard to find. 👍
I could watch that all day long!
That banshee was bad ass sheesh
The Banshee was feared by all who didn't own one.
Quadzilla way better
My favorite bikes in the early 70's were the yamaha r5/RDs so 350 for me !
Hillclimbs are my favorite Ken, thanks! Remember Gravelrama?
Quadzilla "what hill?"
banshee could be faster but ill take the LT any day. big flex owning one of those
BANSHEE all day
Not this day ...
The Holeshot tires is what made the difference.
Nice
Servin up plates of food!
I’ve had Both. Brand new. Banshee is faster stock. You can reJet the Quadracer but still Banshee all the way. Better all around bike
I have owed 2 banshees, they are terrible for everything BUT hill climbing.
Quadzilla. King of the monsters
love the zilla
That 500 is a beast
The LT. It the KING oF HILL.

Some people just shouldn't talk...or type...
@@AL4N. that 500 needs new glow plugs it sounded like it was only running on one cylinder.
@@AL4N. i beleive its sarchasim

Dnt fudge with the 500

@@AL4N. maybe it's due to your skill level. I do great on trail with a banshee.
@@chaddowns4680 my 400ex, dusts ANY banshee on the trails I ride on.
Alan I seriously doubt you're riding with teer one riders. Good luck with the 400ex

Second guy can't ride. Blow them tires off sir keeps front end down
500 just as fast at 4k rpm less
That quadzilla sweet big bore music to my ears had good run

The zuk just dont sound as good as the banshee.

Let's see some 100-200 horsepower banshees

That was boring!
