01 banshee, all stock in good condition 2400
2001 YAMAHA BANSHEE, good condition, $1990
1999 YAMAHA BANSHEE, new chain sprockets, rear brakes, billet clutch basket, lone star, extended swing arm, billet axle carrier motor, needs rebuild (topend) $1900
1998 YAMAHA BANSHEE, Toomey pipes, Cool head, Works shocks, carb kit, K&N filter, Durablue axle, runs excellent, $2,400
1992 YAMAHA, YZF350A Banshee, looks and runs good, pro circuit pipe and silencers, ac bumper, renthal handlebars, and new plastics in front, $2000 obo
Thats just with a quick search on one website. I'm sure if you check your local auto trader you will find more. If you can spend 400 on your bike, you can probably sell it and come close to, or be able to, afford a used shee.

These guys have it right. I love my Warrior but I'm not really into MX racing or drag racing or even dune racing. A Warrior is a plain and simple cruiser bike.
Look at it like this; the Warrior is like an '81 Camaro, and the YFZ450 is like a ZR-1 Corvette. Or if you're a Ford guy the Warrior is a '69 Cougar with a 289cid engine, and the YFZ is a 2004 Mustang Mach1.
Either way it boils down like this: In 1987-1990, the Warrior was arguably the best all-around sport quad on the market. It was far and away ahead of the pack in versatility and appeal. I remember thinking back then "350cc 4-stroke, 6-speed manual clutch, reverse, damn that's a sweet set up." And a ton of people agreed with me as sales would indicate. Just like the Camaro was in '81.
Now you look back at the stock '81 Camaro, with a 305cid V8 powered, factory emissions power sucking exhaust, balloon tires, plush suspension and a bulky body and you say it's old and out dated.
Sure with a few thousand bucks you can pull up next to a new Corvette in that '81 Camaro, and you might stay with him on a straight away but you would die in a firey wreck on the first turn. It would take far more money than the car would ever be worth to spend so much. It would be wasted. But for cruising the strip or letting the engine sing on a back country road that lightly modified Camaro might be pretty cool to drive around. It would be reliable, simple to maintain, and happy as hell with some 91 octane in the tank and some 10w40 in the belly.
That's your Warrior. It's a cruiser, a fun ride, and it can even be a good woods racing or hare scramble combat soldier. But it's never going to be a Z400, or a YFZ450, or even a 400ex. You have to be happy with what it is or you need a bigger quad. I'm happy enough to be able to spank most other quads with less cubic inches, and so far I've only lost to a few modded Utility monsters. I've had a couple Kawasaki Praries give me the tail-light pretty damn quick and stay there no problem.
If your Warrior is in nice shape all the dealers will take them on trade. They never have a problem moving the Warriors, and for the most part they don't have to put much money into them to turn a profit.
