ive seen an 87 shee that may have been the first year, it might be 86, the warrior was started in 1986 im pretty sure on that. no idea about the blaster tho.

Just think about it. All barely changed in all that time. Warrior needs an update in suspension and a 426 motor (currenty you have to spend 800 bucks on the engine to make it run with the modern boys). Banshee needs a powervalve (tune down the pipe to keep power low, to keep lawsuits low on stock machines) and better suspension. Blaster needs, nothing really, it fills its niche nicely. Anything more then it will cost more and will be competing with other machines and why do that when you can have a class all your own. Would be nice though if they made it a touch bigger and with a 250, just detuned to the amount of hp it has now. Would make it a hot seller for the races but still a great entry bike.

And my RD (ancient banshee that looks like a baby cruiser street bike) needs a bill of sale so I can ride that darn thing.

The warrior then the banshee then the blaster i believe...your right bout what they need jackal but on the blaster id say it needs about 4 inches on the swingarm and axle/a arms....It would hanld e so much better without just a little extra size!

I wonder what Yamaha was thinking with the j-arms on the banshee. I mean probably the best quad ever made IMO was the trx250r and that was about a year before the banshee. Yamaha should of taken some hints from honda and started out with the a-arms, wider and longer wheelbase. can anyone anwser whay they did that??

banshees and warriors were made in 86, and sold in 87, and the blasters were introduced in 88
