richwuest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 1988 Yamaha Banshee 350 twin parts machine Buy it now for 275, and appers to have works shocks and nerfs. NY is too far away for me, I hope this helps someone else on this board. I have no vested interest in this ebay auction, It is just a great deal I spotted that I thought could make someone here happy.

Washburn Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Auction ended. Its a pretty good deal but its in very rough shape. The seller dident pull any punches though. its an 88 so the frame is probably pretty rough. New bearings and bushings ide imagine all around. Those shocks probably havent been serviced since he bought them so theres no telling if they are salvagable. If I had the cash on hand Ide probably pick it up but it would be a pretty big project and getting a motor slapping it in there after you completly restored it wouldnt pay off to much if you wanted to sell it being an 88 and all. It would be a good project drag bike for me though :biggrin: and after Im done with my Woods/GNCC Banshee a drag Banshee is in the future for me.But thats not even worth thinking about with all I have going on with my 03 rite now.

blaster668 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I picked it up, thanks for the heads up. I plan on parting most of it out, probably keep shocks and wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwuest Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Parting it out is what I would have bought it for if it was local. The cost to ship from NY to CA is just way too much for a bike like this though. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftdT4R Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I picked it up, thanks for the heads up. I plan on parting most of it out, probably keep shocks and wheels. That thing is going to be a PAIN to get apart, lemme know when you get to the axle carrier, I'm willing to bet most of it is junk, if it's in the shape like it's shown, nobody has probably ever greased any of the bearings, even for 275, your gonna spend days if not weeks getting it apart(so I would imagine). And the above poster was right, if those shocks havent been servced in the last few years or so, they are probably done. Good luck......
