Engineered by Yamaha for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2009 Yamaha Banshee YFZ350 relies on a 347 cc (21.2 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 64.0 x 54.0 mm (2.5 x 2.1 inches) with a 6.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Banshee YFZ350 measures 175 kg (386 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
