butterflies in stomach...

...Just thinking back to the first time I swung a leg over a Banshee...Was 17 years old and purchased a 1997 Banshee from the local shop...sister co-signed, lol.

Slung a leg over, kicked it off and it started immediately..that wail was awesome. Took it down a dirt road across the street from the dealer for a test to make sure I wanted it. By the time I got to forth gear and the tires were still boiling off - I knew this machine was made for me! I had butterflies!!

It was a big difference over even my 250R three wheeler(I had at the same time) in terms of handling and motor. Loaded the Banshee up and took it home and had MANY years of tire boiling fun on that machine.

I am just hoping I have the same feeling when this new SXS hits the ground!! :)

The Banshee 350 is a legend. I had a Warrior when I was young and always wished it was it's faster brother instead. If Yamaha goes with the Banshee name on this SxS, it had better live up to the title.

My thoughts exactly. does anyone know where the Banshee name rumor started?
Hell, maybe the forum guys know, that's why the forum is called Banshee Forum
