The smell of premix in the dunes, the smell of that wet sand coming off the roost of Skat-Trak tires mounted on some sweet Douglas rims, and the unmistakable sound of the Banshee. What a video. This took me back 25 years to when I was taking my Banshee to every sand dune I could get to. Love, absolutely love your content!

Christmas 1986 I was 7 & my parents got me a Yam 175 Tri-Moto. Eventually got a Tri-Z 250 and a Suz LT250R. Nothing beats a 2 stroker

[@jbrownjetmech-4783]

You are a lucky man to have survived the Tri-Z 250. My best friends, one had a Tri-Z and the other had a new Banshee, I was on a KX250 bike. I remember my friend with the Banshee was so jealous of my friend with the Tri-Z because he was faster than him on his brand new quad. But that Tri-Z was an absolute monster, it had such a high tune, it would hit the pipe like a bike motor would, my friend let me ride it many times and the way it could keep putting down power where my bike would be spinning made it very hard to catch, if at all. And being that it was essentially missing a wheel you had to give it the respect due a pipe bomb. Thing was a widow maker for sure. Miss those days, good times.

[@ArikaStack]

When I was a kid my dad had a Banshee. He built it, got heads, reeds, pipes, and it had to run a special high octane race gas. He sawed off the front fenders so all that was left were nubs. By the time he was done building it, I was 12, and the only time he ever let me ride it, I wasn't allowed to go above 2nd gear, because that bike was stupid fast. When I was smaller, he'd ride with me sitting on the gas tank and he'd drag race people with super built raptors and stuff and win, with me riding along. That bike was crazy. I had a slightly built blaster and there was no comparison. I'd buy a banshee over any other quad as an adult if I had the money.

[@TonerLow]

That's a great dad story 🙌

[@BornAGoon]

[@insanetaco98]

I'd never buy a banshee lol. My old man built an 89 and rode it til he sold it and got his 96 and built that then sold that when the 450s hit. Never looked back cause the banshee can't corner for shit and just feels like a fuckin boat

2 things I'll always remember from the Banshee days, #1 was the sound of the lead Banshees flying by "pinned" on a dirt road in the Parker 400 back in the 80's...... #2 was a little 70 lb girl kicking EVERYBODY'S ass up comp hill on one at Glamis. Another great video Sir !

Awesome video!!!!! In 1997 I bought a brand new Warrior which I sold years ago. There was a brand new 1997 Banshee right next to it. I always wondered if I should have bought the Banshee, this video makes the answer obvious.

[@cargotoolshop5319]

I bought my 14 year old son a warrior, that should answer your question, I think my blaster was as fast as the warriors, and I had a banshee but I had two many quads, I got a brute force 750 to replace them, I will die with my Kawasaki, still love it to this day 2005

[@shanedenmark5536]

Totally depends what you want to do… I had a Warrior and loved it because it was easy to ride and did most everything I wanted it to do in the woods and on the trails. A buddy had a Banshee and he said it was exhausting riding it on tight trails. But when we hit that old railroad bed straightaway… Holy hell. I swear that thing had a warp coil for an engine.

I had the pleasure to ride a Banshee and a race ready Suzuki 500 out at Glamis back in the late 80's. I thought the world of that Suzuki 500. I rode it for a couple days with the Paddle tires and just crushed everything I saw. I got on a friends Banshee and was very surprised and immediately wowed by it's speed and acceleration. I found the Suzuki 500 Quadzilla in it's race ready form a bit more stable for my liking out there as the Banshee was brand new and had no mods outside of the paddle tires. That Banshee flew. Both were massive fun out in the dunes of Glamis. Nice revisiting those watching this.

[@mikehh8020]

I never understood the logic of declaring an inanimate machine as “dangerous”. Certain people are just hell bent on banning dangerous objects instead of banning the idiots operating them.

[@BornAGoon]

so true that is they always want to take the fun out of everything

[@jameshealy4594]

This is both true 99.9% of the time and utterly incorrect. If it's fast and you crash it because it's unforgiving and you're not Travis Pastrana that is totally on you and always will be. If a bike is released where big bumps make the frame snap in half, that is dangerous in a fundamental way. Ridiculous example sure, just pointing out it's rarely black and white in either direction.

[@davemccage7918]

@@jameshealy4594 By definition, most (if not all) machines are “dangerous”. Chainsaws are in fact capable of inflicting harm, but I would NOT call a properly operated, well maintained chainsaw “dangerous” per say. Now if a company produces a saw where the chain is prone to flying off due to a design flaw, then I would call that particular type of chainsaw dangerous. The Banshee was a very capable machine, but not inherently flawed so long as the operator was equally capable. I guess all I’m saying is know your limits.

[@dandersonjr]

2 stroke 3 wheelers and the Banshee 4 wheeler are the only non motorcycle machines I would ever consider buying. In the early 2000's when I had a Yamaha dealership we'd get one of each color which meant two and we'd pull them in and out of the shop everyday for display and at the end of the week when the oil started to drip out of the exhaust we'd fight over who would get to take them outback and clean them out. Double the fun factor in the winter when we'd race them around the building in the snow covered parking lot. Had a helluva time selling 2 every year but at least we had fun with them while we had them.

I haven't seen him in the better part of 15 years, but if he reads this, he needs to know he was appreciated.

My friend got me into riding back in the late 80s. Learned to ride on my friends 1978 rm125. Not having a bike for 10+ years fast forward to June 2000. While shopping for groceries there was a Yamaha dealer on my way home. I stopped "just to take a look" I could not decide on either a banshee or YZ250, almost bought both. Pulled the trigger on banshee but still always wanted a YZ. Now in 2021 I found a 2000 Yz250 (yes 2 stroke) at a decent price and bought it. They both share garage space now.

The powerband on this guy was nuts. As a 75 lb kid this thing was sketchy. I live in El Centro California less than an hr from lots of the legendary desert riding hotspots. Glamis, Ocotillo, superstition basically my back yard. I never owned a 4 wheeler but have ridden lots different ones in my youth quadzilla 500s, banshee 350s but my favorite for the sand was the honda 250r. I am mainly a two wheeled guy now but in high school my parents would never have gotten me a dirt bike but lots of friends had them and lots of weekends spent in the sand. I have enjoyed the videos you have done on your channel so far. A blast from the past. This video is funny because 3 months ago my mother in law wanted to give me her old Banshee but I turned it down because I am limited on a place to store it. Also three dirt bikes fit into the truck bed and with the 4 wheeler I would have to trailer it or take two trips. To get the family out to the desert. Right now my 8 year old is on a vintage trizinger that leaves enough room for my wife’s 250 and my 450 with just enough room to fit the gear in the bed. It will no be long before the kid is ready for something bigger but i know the Banshee was not a natural progression. Great job on the channel

Respect the Banshee, especially one with Toomey T5 pipes, tuned carbs with air pod filters like my profile pic. It is a machine that DEMANDS experienced riders' attention at all time. The stock suspension isn't the best, it doesn't like to ride slow because there's no rad fan and it's always ready to rip, but if a noob is not aware of the powerband, it will definitely rip you to pieces.

Started my motorcycle career in 1990 at a multi line metric dealership and I uncrated and assembled and did the pre delivery service on hundreds of banshees and blasters. They sold the shit out of them probably more than any other model dirt or street. On most machines performance parts give you little gains here and there but the Banshee was instant gratification. The Blaster would get some good gains from the same mods but nothing like the Banshee. If we wanted big gains on the blaster we would take the crank out and swap the blaster connecting rod out with one off the Banshee turning it into a stroker motor.

I bought a 99 banshee blue in color brand new. I ran 50:1 mix from day one instead of 32:1 factory spec and it made a huge difference in performance. I put some $1200 shocks on it for motocross racing and some bolt on engine upgrades like FMF fatty pipes, v force reeds, boost bottle, bigger jets etc.. I raced amateur at a local motocross track. I was not a pro racer by any means but i could leave the starting line in 2nd gear and take 1st place into turn 1 every time and hold that position for 3 laps before fatigue and lack of experience would set in and the pro riders ( 2 or 3 of them) would pass me on the jumps. It was a great machine that i never had any trouble with. I stopped riding often and sold it for WAY to cheap 3 years before the prices went insane. I do miss it but Im 53 and my need for speed has faded. I also had a 92 VMAX motorcycle that was also fast as hell. Had that thing up to 160 MPH at over 10000 rpm maxed out with stock engine. I beefed up (triangulated) the frame and put in solid motor mounts so it was stable at speed. Also replaced the rubber washer in steering head with metal one to remove the death wobble at 45 and 80 mph. Big improvements! Yamaha is/was my favorite brand to say the least. Artic cat F7 for snowmobiling though. hahaha

[@BornAGoon]

Thank you Not sure what the next one will be any ideas?

[@tjohnson200]

I loved my Banshee. Had pipes and a little motor work done. It was a perfect quad for the dunes.

[@GrimmReaper250Rfilms]

This is the best video I've ever seen !!! 👏 I learned how to ride on a 1993 yellow and purple banshee at the age of 8

[@BornAGoon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cjextreme]

Your explanation of the cons is exactly why i bought the warrior! Slightly slower than the shee but i live in the rockies at high elevation. My warrior always out preformed my skill!

[@adamloveshondas3122]

First bike I bought fell in love with it in high school and made a promise to my self to get one and let me tell you it didn’t disappoint there’s nothing like it it’s truly one of a kind can’t wait to get another one 💯💯💯💯💯

[@JohnLikesDoe]

[@Toxic2T]

This video hits me in a spiritual level.

[@Noone-jn3jp]

I rebuild 70s era honda’s into little dangerous things. I’m going to watch this but am busy right now. Your channel name earned an instant sub. 👊

My first sport quad was a 98’ 350 Warrior in 2000, when I was about 15. We had a group of about 10 kids that got together and hit all the local spots on Saturdays in our little country town. I remember my buddy Kevin showing up one Saturday with his Dad’s brand new Banshee. I had my Warrior and thought, how much faster could it be? They’re both 350s after all lol. After much coaxing and promises that I wouldn’t crash his dad’s new baby, Kevin relented, and I hopped on that Banshee and hit it! It was a LOT faster than my Warrior. My adrenaline went through the roof as the wheels glided over the gravel road. I squeezed the throttle and my legs against the tank and sent it, leaving a trail of gravel dust a mile long. It was an absolute blast. I always loved my Warrior, but from that day forward I always had a soft spot for Banshees. I have a SxS now and meet up with family and friends for rides. A couple years ago my step brother’s friend showed up to a ride with a Banshee. I wondered if it was just my love and nostalgia for them or if they really were as fast as I remember. The dude let me take it for a little spin and it was absolutely just as much fun as I remember! I would love to find one that hasn’t been ran into the ground but it would probably be cost prohibitive at that point.

[@boxynosepoker1963]

Great video of course love ur stuff man ant wait till the next video

[@BornAGoon]

Appreciate it!

[@Don_219]

At the end was a perfect opportunity to have the sweet sound of a Banshee sing!!!

[@BryanDenlingerKJVM]

I've had three of them. Best ATV ever.

[@zeroproductionsHD]

[@the90sinfluence]

What an intro! I miss ATVs from back then. Excellent video

[@jasonpace9260]

They really Need to bring back the banshee

[@Frederic383]

I love so much your conclusion and what life is all about…

[@LVL1Yo-YoGuy]

One of the few youtube videos I watched from start to end. Nice narration btw.👍

[@BornAGoon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@publicdomainvideos9917]

My brother had one of these we loved it so much, I did not know these had so much fanfare.

[@dwk70075]

I bought a brand new Banshee in 1995 and rode it for ten years. it only ever over heated once in that time and it was hands down the best machine I've ever owned. I've seen them selling for more than what I took mine off the showroom floor for lol.

[@combatflipflopsgriff8343]

The narration was spot on. Well done.

[@minnesotatomcat]

I’ve got a 1987 moto 4 225, still runs like a top! Both my kids learned how to ride on that thing 👍

[@sci-fyguy7767]

We had one for my parents land. We all took turns riding it & it caused me & my 2 brothers to buy sport quads (2 blasters & a warrior). That bright blue moto-4 started it all.

[@minnesotatomcat]

@@sci-fyguy7767 I bought mine from a friend who got it new, it sat in his barn the last 15-20 years he had it. Then he got cancer and he tried giving it to me but I insisted I buy it from him. I got it running and all cleaned up and drove it to his place shortly before he died, it made him smile like I hadn’t seen him smile in a long time. It’s as much about the memories as the machines 👍

[@sci-fyguy7767]

@@minnesotatomcat That’s a good story. 👍
