- We bought the legendary 350 twin cylinder 2 stroke quad AKA the Yamaha Banshee for $500 Insta360 One X2 link for $15 off and free accessory - store.insta360.com/?insrc=INR...
The quad isn't in great shape as you could imagine for $500 but we have faith we can get it running and driving in no time. The Banshee 350 is the bike of choice for the bikelife movement and we couldn’t be more excited to rebuild the bike a learn how to properly wheelie and send it!

Finding a $500 running Banshee is like saying "I found $3000 sitting on the ground today. That's nice."
I haven’t seen a banshee for under 5k in my area, I’m wondering where they found this. Wish I could get this lucky, I’m looking for a quad and can’t find anything for a decent price
I found one for 900 the other day
@@Abyss955 better buy a lottery ticket and go skydiving, you are on a roll!
@@chelseasaunders212 im in quebec canada and right now it not under 7k
in california you will find all the banshees, only problem is here they dont go under 7-9k
How, how can you even find one for 500$ in this market. Restore it. Love to see it back in it’s prime
He didn't or ateast I highly doubt he did with that exhaust system

@@seanoleksak3880 It was likely sold to them by someone who knows who they are and gave them a discount because they knew it was going into good hands.

Ain’t no way they got a running banshee for $500 😂😂best deal y’all get
Just picked up a running, titled, 2000 392 big bore banshee for 550 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@nickkuhlmam1336 that was my thoughts. To many people butchering this machines.
@@stretchnnuts exactly my thought
I love to see $500 banshees going into the right hands. Can’t imagine how many just like that have been crushed...
I don't know where your watching this from but in the north west you can't find them for 500 I don't know how they did
You can In the northeast, but it will be absolutely thrashed
@@allenboal6184 fr.. I couldn't find one on marketplace for less than 2k and they were garbage at that price. I have a blaster.. only half the fun but can't afford the upgrade.
@@allenboal6184 exactly lol

To everyone wondering where they found a $500 banshee. They live in Northern Idaho. I live in Utah and the market is similar. Out here in the west machines like that just aren't as desirable as they are in other places. I'm not saying every thing out here is cheap but if you look consistently you can find two to three screaming deals a month and if you're quick you can score them. I personally have gotten a $500 ATC 350X, a $100 Honda fourtrax 300 4x4 with title, and a $1000 turboed snowmobile with 1500 miles. *All machines ran when I bought them*
Ok sure
I just picked up a reasonably clean Skidoo Formula Z 670 for $200 in NM. Look around and deals will show up.
@@outabody381 what's my motivation to lie?
Heck, in Michigan I got a 98 Formula Z 583 for $300. Running, titled, and from the 2nd owner. Dude just didn't want it and didn't care about letting it go cheap.
Well out here in California everything is overpriced, but at least our politicians are incompetent, except when it comes to corruption.
My favorite description came from Dirtwheels in 1987 when it first came out: "It sounds like 2 chainsaws trying to eat each other". Please please please, nobody destroy a usable Banshee. It deserves a good restoMod and then to be used.
The way he stuttered while saying he wasn't going to tear in a part gives me mixed feelings about the truth of that.
I would pay more than that with a stuck engine
fr man
I have 🤣🤣🤣
We can’t even find them without a motor for less than 800 to 900 around me
The prices will go down in the future. Guaranteed. As soon as the hype goes down. Watch😁 plus depends where your at in the country. Where I'm at, nice clean banshees go for about 3 or 4k. Sometimes find one for 2500 if your lucky, fixer uppers 700$ to ..1500$ on the high if there gouging for a clapped out one that barly runs. Then again people will rip you off at any price..all that said I've seen people luck out and get a nice barn find for 500 to 1500$..ya never know.
@@motov8-garage832 what state are you in
I miss my banshee!
Damn seeing you here made my day
Love from Germany
Woah, what’s up Trevor. Do a build on one..
More C 10 action please lol
Loved your Supra build watched it from the day you picked it up!
You need to get on your dirtbike and do some ripping sometimes. I like doing it to clear my mind and get some adrenaline going
My mind is blown how the hell did u find a banshee for 500 let alone one with a engine I’ve seen people selling the frames for like 1grand
Its fake. Click bait.
they lied to you.
I’m 22 I’ve been watching you guys for a couple years so far. I really love what you guys do! Unfortunately I am stuck in my wheelchair hopefully someday I have something fun to play around on! Love to ride
Much respect for keeping the banshee a banshee, awesome stuff
I'll tell you the same thing I told CarsAndCameras. You need to put a couple 'trail cams' like hunters use around your property set up to activate when motion is detected, record for 10 or 15 seconds, and shut back down. I think you'll catch some interesting clips of jumps and fast passes and things like that it you put them in good places, and wont have to plan ahead to have someone already be standing there with a camera or drone or the 360cam etc.
@Andrey Angere sure, if you get sucky trail cams.
When the carb is overflowing it just means you're not using enough throttle
lmao plastic float bowl and over flowing bc the jet isn’t lifting and sealing from debree
🤣🤣🤣
Nothing like that sound!! 89 TRX 250R original owner but most of my riding buddies through the years have had Banshee's. So when you started that Banshee after finding that brake switch trouble I was excited!! Great Video thanks
i love that you guys aren't tearing it down to put the motor elsewhere. i absolutely cannot wait to see how clean you guys make this weapon. hell yeah!
The best use of a Banshee engine outside obvisouly a Banshee I saw was a Yamaha R3 track bike
@@atragerlspezi9500 I seen one in a yz250 it was sweet
12:09 I can smell that hot ass clutch from here

wet clutch is pretty hard to overheat from a few seconds like that
OP does not know what a wet clutch is.....
I really like the technical build videos but this is one of the best riding videos that I’ve seen from you guys. Surprised there wasn’t more people complaining about the tow. I wasn’t!
That is a lovely track. I love how the areas after the jumps have perfect grass. Keep those wheels in the air and stay safe my gearheaded brothas🤘

I absolutely love you guys!! From the builds to the camera angles and editing!!! Fantastic job!!
That’s so awesome!! Glad you guys are restoring it and making it look sick!!
Yk every project car is on its way when you hear "we just got it started again and we wanna set a lap time" *15mins later* "let's asses the damage"
normal people: it has just been years since it was last started, lets break it in.
you: lets just send it
You know it!
Break in what’s that ? 😂 all or nothing 😝
sitting dosent mean the engine magically returned to unused....
So excited for this build! Banshee has always been my dream quad!!!!!! Let's go!!
Out here in Puerto Rico, it’s common to see 10+ Banshees mobbing up a mountain road. Every time I see (and smell one) I miss mine. Glad you guys scooped one up!
Banshees were such a dream of mine growing up dirtbiking. I like to imagine how fun of a road vehicle they would be too with road tires and suspension setup. Acceleration of a motorcycle plus the stability of 4 wheels and being able to turn and brake hard. The ultimate vehicle on pavement. It's too bad they don't allow them when they allow motorcycles and those silly 3 wheel vehicles.
In Germany banshees are on road legally after you put some flash light and stuff like that on it.
In Portugal they are all legal and crazy fast on road. Here they are 10k on the market
@@raptorstyle3403 omg. Life goals. Of course rational germany allows it. No more dangerous than motorcycles.
They are fun but had a weird powerband, not much torque and always side pulled, you can kind of see it in vid. ATC 250r would take them until you ran out of gears. That said my buddy road ran his a lot and kept messing with gearing until he got it up to 115 mph. In the end it's a twin two stroke and you have to pay for the power with constant rebuilds so personally I would take a 450r atc today. I would like to see them race the two.
@@69jbr69 Well yeah obviously a 4 stroke would be better for long term on the roads but still. Road banshee would be really fun. There would be nothing that could touch it in a city environment with low traffic. On the big open roads yeah a more powerful vehicle with more weight would be better but in small twisty suburb areas with lots of turns, it would just absolutely dominate. I forget what that 4 stroke competitor to the banshee is but I'm sure that would be awesome too. Just sacrifice a little bit of weight for wider power band better mileage less rebuilds.
This should be a new series called "grindhard restoration"
i love to see both of you guys working together and riding. i hope to see more of you guys working together like on the rock crawler!!
I'm just happy y'all are gonna keep something and not tear it apart right away! Banshees are worth holding on to
These were like 100 years in advance when they released.. Look at it now.. Time flies so fast
Still easily the fastest on the strip💪🏻😏
@@crimsontide9532 and dunes
Banshee owner here. Nah they really weren't they are extremely primitive machines even for when they were released. This engine was originally on the Yamaha RD350 but that one had a powervalve. The banshee didn't which gave it the crazy two stroke powerband that we all love.
It was just an air-cooled 2 stroke street bike motor with the powervalve jerked off and stuck onto a four wheeler with the most basic suspension humanly possible for the time. Extremely fun mind you but even when it was built it was out of date they didn't even use the powervalve. Lol
Gotta love two strokes though emissions killed em but my God are they fun! Incredibly simple I can rebuild a banshee motor faster than I can rework the head on my yz450f
@@n111254789 I come from a very very remote northern area of the world where people drove Big Reds and then this thing showed up.. That was my point
That would be the Honda 250r. The banshee had very poor geometry for motocross and cross country. The trx450r still shares parts with the 250r
Jesus. I can't even find a non running 96 big bear for $500.
True
@Andrey Angere I bought my warrior for 1k non running, put another 1k unto it and flipped it for 3k
Yes!!!!! Thats so sick. And your going to keep it a bike.! Hell yes that thing will be a ripper, you guys scored
That’s why y’all got it so cheap. I’ve run across this problem myself and it was a booger to figure out, I knew right away what happened to yours, glad y’all figured it out! Love my insta360!
Broooo where do you find these deals?!?!?!?! 🤯🤯🤯
Ya honestly where??????!?!?!
I know right
i mean it makes sense based on where they live lol
If you aren't looking for these deals every single day you're probably missing them
@@why3011 They don't have to, I'm sure they get a ton of offers like these from their subscribers.
Bro banshees in south Florida right now are gold!!!!! That how it sits is worth 5k

@@zzoe1621 for real they blew up in price over the past couple months 10k for a stock clean one
so awesome you guys got a banshee. cant wait to see the build specs and how it turns out.
Damn, I wanted a banshee sooo bad as a kid. This is making me wanna look for one..
do it
Can’t you do a restore play list when you completely restore the motor the stickers and the plastic?
We will for sure
If you don’t love a 2 stroke…I’m sorry. Banshees and triple sleds!
Yaa!!
I'm a 4 stroke rider but I looove 2 smokers 🤘🤘
Yessa
Dont forget the Quadzilla, they need some more love
Unpopular opinion. Big twin with twin pipes >triple with pipes
I think I speak for everybody watching. I've been jealous of a lot (all) of your guy's projects.. but a banshee...... good for you guys!
You guys inspired me to get my 2001 KX250 out of the barn and rebuild it! I'd buy a 500 dollar banshee any day of the week!! Thanks for not destroying it!
That thing sounds very healthy, y’all are so lucky
I need me some land and a Banshee😂 That looks like so much fun!
Crazy find! 2 strokes are so much fun!
The Banshee 2 stroke smoke show has always been a favorite of mine. Nice score!
My dad has one, I got to ride it once before it was put into storage almost 14 years ago. Haven’t seen it sense.
Go get it out of storage lol. They are fun 😄
Hmmmm usually when my dad said he put something in storage and I haven't seen it in awhile its. Because he sold/pawned it.
I’ll buy it
if you live in the ohio, Kentucky ,indiana tri-state area i will buy
It is not forsale unfortunately he doesn't sell anything
Can’t wait for the tank power wheels
Got to ride my first Banshee at Sand Lake Oregon this year,stay on the pipe and full send!Also cool shirt,Spinny is the man!
Love the banshee! You guys got a great deal and it's not all beat up like the machines around here!
The Banshee is technically a "swap" from the factory. The EPA did away with 2-stroke street bikes (new models) in 1985. So Yamaha modified their RZ350 street bike engine design for use in a new quad....
New title - "I Bought a Stolen Banshee for $500!"
Don’t hate that you can’t find good deals lol
@@anthonymaynard9809 Yeah, like you could find a deal like that lol.
Can't find them if your not willing to look. Deals are out there just gotta get to them first
@@jetskihoarder I could see it as possible if it wasn't in decent shape. The body is all there and in pretty good shape and looks to be in way too good of shape for the deal quads that are usually out there. $500 for any Banshee is a steal regardless of condition and anyone who would be willing to sell one in that condition for that cheap is shady as fuck.
@@earlgunman6325 I paid 400 for my old 400ex it was clean A.F. with title and ran like new. Had it for many years. Sometimes people just do want stuff anymore. Just because its cheap doesn't make it shady. My guess would be it wasn't running right ND the previous owner didn't know how to fix it. And didn't want to pay to have it fixed. And prices are different all across the country. Maybe quads are cheaper in there area because they have snow 60% of the year.
Love it 😍 great idea guys!! Just keep sending it! Oh yeah… going isn’t the issue with a banSHEE… stopping is! 😜
I’ve been looking for a banshee deal that so sick you found this
Crap I'd love to find one of these... especially for this price. Prices for outdoor toys are so outrageous right now where I live...I guess because of covid, more people want to do activities that take them outdoors where they feel safe lol
I don't believe for one second that they got a banshee for $500. They're either lying or that quad is stolen which is why they got it cheap.
Exactly
Facts!!
that or it belonged to someone that passed away and say a widow wanted to get rid of things in the yard and didn't know or didn't care what they were worth and just wanted to see them gone. thats exactly how i have gotten a few really nice quads and snowmobiles in past years for stupid deals.
It’s definitely possible that they got it for $500, surprisingly a lot of people still don’t know the market for these bikes somehow
@@BendyBendigo I must not because when I search market place I don't see one for less than 4,000. People are selling junk motors for $1200. I don't think YOU know the market.
Banshees are so much fun. They're just a bit narrow and short wheel based for the power. I remember seeing a single carb intake for those back in the late 90's that could be made in a few hours(in case you're wondering why one carb would be better than two, aside from the adjustment issues, the principle is a single 2 inch pipe can flow more than two 1 inch pipes). I did get to ride one with a 500 kit on it. Almost too much fun. Almost.
this is why there is a cult following for banshees there are nuts i miss mine and to be honest im a big guy and with all the work that was done to it i held on for dear life everytime i rode
One of the best quads ever made! So glad you didn't destroy it!
Y’all should do a 2 into one pipe and make it sound like an f1 car
You guys at GRPC are having way to much fun 🤩.!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhh I want a banshee so badly. I have a blaster 200 fully built. It’s widened and has full tread street meat on it. She will do 130 all day easily but damn the sound of a two cylinder two stroke is just damn 🤤🤤🤤Love it felllas keep it coming
Can you guys make that into a turbo banshee
I dont think you can turbo a 2 stroke can you?
you definitely can, it's going to be difficult but I'm sure they can handle it
Hmm, for a moment it looked like the cheapest and fastest bmw 2 stroke conversion
Yessss! Sick banshee build is a must!!
That’s awesome!! Love it! Power shift that ol girl and let it fly!
Day 51 of asking grind hard to do there version of mini mayhem.
I want it !!!!! 2 Stokes are so under rated , music to my ears 🥰😂
Wait a minute!! Did they just make me watch an ad for a camera and I did not even realize it was an ad!! Damn that was slick. Keep it up that’s the way ya promote something.
Had a banshee for years loved it
love the banshee's, will be interesting to see what you do to it! new tires for shure, and send it on a new lap
That's a sweet find at $500. Always down to follow some more sweet Banshee content on youtubes
Oh what a killer deal with such an awesome easy fix.
I got to drive one once, and have always wanted to own one. What a wild machine.
BRAVO BOYS BRAVOOOO!!!!! About TIME you guys got yourself a REAL MACHINE!!!!! MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BIKE EVER. I dont care how fast and better the new stuff is. I will ALWAYS OWN A SHEE!!!! GREAT SHIT BOYS ENJOY!!!!
I miss my old Banshee YZF 350 R . Had it all set up for flat track and raced the crap out of it . Super fun and super fast .
🤙 Nice save on the banshee
Damn a nice score. I have a 88 honda trx 250r. Plan on adding a banshee at some point. 2 strokes for life.
This video was sick. I like the style of the video
I miss the old days ripping on my Z400. Good times. One day I need to come up there and hang with you guys.
Dream property set up right there boys. No where in Australia can I find such a property. Use are living the dream loving the big green trees 🌲 in summer and snow in winter ❄️
Banshees still fetch good money in New Zealand. I bored mine out to 380 awesome to hear one again
Awesome. I'm So stoked.
Gotta love the shenanigans these guys get up to
I’ve had three Banshee’s. I wrecked my last one really bad. Broke my right hip, back, pelvis, left shoulder, left cheek and eye socket (with a full face helmet mind you), and on and on and on, literally around 20 bones. Especially if you count all the subtle ones your sinuses are made of. On my first Banshee I broke my right elbow and right collar bone (two separate incidents). Banshee’s deserve respect! Now that I’m an old man, a father, and half titanium, I ride around on my tame Raptor 700 lol.
im now subscribed because of the banshee you guys got!
so cool bike you got there!
Welcome to the Banshee Club guys! I've got two in the family, and you won't find a better quad out there. Can't wait to see what you do to it!
Nicce find!! Keep banshee legacy alive
You guys are so lucky, insane deal
Nice score on that rocket ship. New front tires and it will take first place by a second easily.
Camt wait to see what this get turned into
Hell yeah dude good find
I watch a lot of rollerblading and quadskating videos, they all use this go-pro 360, but now I actually know how to get my own great shots..
Thank you so much I bought so many banchees with the same problem so I’m makeing money
Banshees are beast love them since I first rode one in 88
Found you guys through RUclips suggestions after a CBoys video- now I want a Banshee.
Childhood dream machine right there! Would still love to have one today.
