Sport ATV fans still talk about the Banshee with reverence, even though the two-stroke desert king has been out of production for more than a decade. The 2006 Yamaha Banshee sits 43.3 inches wide with a 50.4-inch wheelbase. Ground clearance is 5.3 inches and the stock machine weighs 386 pounds. Fuel capacity is 3.2 gallons and seat height is 31.5 inches.

Giving the Banshee its unmistakable growl is a 347cc parallel twin two-stroke engine. A six-speed transmission doles out that two-stroke power.

As for suspension, the 2006 Yamaha Banshee features an independent double-wishbone design up front, controlling 9.1 inches of travel. A rear swing arm offers up 8.7 inches of travel out back. Stopping power comes courtesy of dual hydraulic disc brakes up front and a single hydraulic disc in the rear.
