Yamaha first got into the ATV game with the three-wheeled YT125 in 1980. As the decade progressed other Japanese manufacturers, like Honda and Suzuki, started producing single-cylinder two-stroke sport quads. Not wanting to miss out on a growing market, Yamaha decided to take the twin parallel two-stroke engine from the iconic RZ350 and cram it inside a sport quad chassis.
The resulting package weighed 405 pounds wet, had a 6-speed automatic transmission, dual Mikuni 26mm carbs, and a kick start. It produced 34 horsepower, had a top speed approximately 75 miles per hour, and brandished a true hooligan look with dual exhaust pipes coming right out the front.
This example is VIN: JY42GU002HC009240; Engine: 2GU009240. The seller purchased the bike three years ago from a private party in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and states, “I was looking for a Banshee, found this one in a barn super dusty and got a great deal on it. When I cleaned it I realized it was too good to be used in mud or dirt and me being the collector I am, decided to not use it. I can’t afford having a bike just sitting in my garage anymore. I want to ride.”
There is no odometer. True mileage unknown.
