[88fiveohGT]

If anyone is selling a yamaha banshee let me know! Any condition as long as its all there. let me know what you got.

[Stormwalker]

Good luck. I have been passively looking for an older one for over a year now.

[Bagd72]

How much are you looking to spend. I have an 88 that is very mint that I may be willing to sell, but it is not a junker, had a fresh rebuild last spring, has Toomey exhaust, and Douglas aluminum wheels. Let me know and I can get you some pictures out. Thanks.

lookin to spend no more than 2600-2800 if possible. I'd prefer not to go as old as an 88 mostly because of the front suspension, unless you're willing to sell it CHEAP. im going to look at one on tuesday so let me know quick.

[Bagd72]

I would be looking to sell it in the $2500 price range. As for the suspension, it is fairly easy to upgrade to a arms, or they also sell aftermarked j arms for them. Let me know if you are interested or not.

[Stormwalker]

I thought they all had A arms? My buddy had an 87, and the arms looked no different than what was on my Quadracer.

[Bagd72]

No from 87 up until I believe 91 the banshees had j arms on them. they used the front mounting point for an a arm, but instead of making an a, they are one piece in a shape that looks somewhat like a J.

hmm

is very mint, but it is not a junker, had a fresh rebuild last spring, has Toomey exhaust, and Douglas aluminum wheels.

yup

[Bagd72]

Yeah as he pointed out, it has a full Toomey T3 exhaust on it, with their air box mod and jet kit, Douglas aluminum wheels which are less than 1 year old. Also it had a full top end rebuild last spring, with a new head, and yamaha pistons. It has probably 10 hours on it since being rebuilt. Also it would probably be about the nicest 88 you will ever find. The factory paint on the frame is even nice. So thats the scoop on it. Let me know if you have any questions or want to come look at it. Thanks.

2500 seems kinda steep for somethin that old even if it is a banshee. Sounds nice tho. shoot me a couple pics and i let ya know what i think.

[Bagd72]

Here are some pics of it.

[Stormwalker]

Wow that is pretty nice. If I were not spending all my money on motor stuff for my car this year, I would take a closer look.

[CleanLX]

That thing is sweeeet!!!

[Bagd72]

Thanks for the complements guys, I couldn't believe how nice it was when I found it either.
