Weekly Used ATV Deal: Beautiful & Brutal Yamaha Banshee

Both fast & furious.

Fall means shorter days, crisp nights and endless trails of orange. And like always, your ATV Connection editors are scoping out SprocketList to find good deals on machines that can make those memorable rides a reality.

That said, this week’s ad takes us to a place called Liberty Center, OH.

According to the listing, this is a 2005 Yamaha Banshee 421 described as beautiful and brutally fast.

Its list of mods is unprecedented: Hotrods stroker crank, Wampus cylinders, F.A.S.T Billett head with 20cc domes yielding a confirmed 165psi but still runs on 93 octane. CPI In frame exhausts, 39mm Keihin Airstriker carbs, Hinson basket.

The list goes on to include a new Dyna programmable ignition good for 70 HP. “Runs cool and will idle all day.” New tires, seat, bars, chain and Alba bumper.

Frame has been powdercoated and every bearing and bushing was replaced last winter. Fresh motor has 6 hours on it. Lastly it boasts new white carbon fiber style fenders.

“It runs as good as it looks, the power is astounding”.

The seller is looking for $4,500, will accept cash or PayPal and doesn’t rule out the possibility of a swap, stating, “Must be a killer trade”.
